Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner may have laughed off of Capitol Hill with Barack Obama’s opening fiscal-cliff bid, but the White House will send Geithner to all five Sunday talk shows today to press their bait-and-switch offer.  The last time Obama sent a senior administration official onto all five shows, Susan Rice told a fairy tale about a YouTube video and a spontaneous demonstration outside our consulate in Benghazi.  Wonder what fairy tales Geithner will spin?  You can tune into any of these shows to find out.

Looks like a lot of cliff-diving talk today on all five shows, but if you want some Benghazi talk, CBS’ Face the Nation is your best bet.  Bob Schieffer will spend half the show talking with the major players on Capitol Hill involved in probing the attack.  The best matchup on the roundtables is probably on NBC’s Meet the Press, where Nancy Pelosi lieutenant Rep. Chris Van Hollen squares off against Grover Norquist, with Jim Cramer and Maria Bartiromo on hand.
