Whoopi Goldberg kicks it off by critiquing Sarah Palin’s notorious cross-hair-peppered map of the U.S., Joy Behar chirps in agreement and Dame Edna sits in sparkly resplendence while conservative show regulars Sherri Shepherd and Elizabeth Hasselbeck make concerned noises about the volatile rhetoric that circulated during the last round of national debate over health care reform. –KA
