Open thread: Sunday morning talking heads

Tough call for the Sunday shows. Do they focus on the week’s true headline story, the White House’s embarrassing reaction to protests in the Middle East and the mounting evidence of U.S. negligence in protecting the consulate in Benghazi? Or do they focus on Romney’s big gaaaaaaaffe? Hint: The panels this week include Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, Joe Scarborough, and Nicolle Wallace, all of them dependable Republican critics of the GOP. Why David Frum and Steve Schmidt weren’t invited too, I have no idea. Maybe the networks are saving the “big guns” for the stretch run before the election.
