Script of "Trigger Happy" (TV)

TALKING MOOSE: You really gotta question John McCain's judgment pickin' Sarah Palin as his VP.

We know her up here. She doesn't have any national security experience. She can't even explain Bush's war policies, but she supports his war. And now she's an expert because she can see Russia?

McCain is 72, and she could end up in charge.

She may be a little "trigger-happy" -- I should know.
