Married D.C. power couple James Carville and May Matalin returned to their bickering, if loving ways Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union with John King."

Just last week, Carville, a Democrat, and Matalin, a Republican, shared a moment after CNN aired a clip from Saturday Night Live mocking Carville.

The opposites-attract political consultants returned to more familiar territory Sunday and laid into one another after King asked the pair about a "vast right-wing conspiracy."

The pair weighed in, but then Carville accused his wife of simply repeating GOP talking points. Matalin responded and said her husband can't write--he can only talk


CARVILLE: We seem to have gone from the vast right-wing conspiracy to the vast right-wing talking points here.
MATALIN: I don't get the talking points like you do. Check, check, check.
KING: I thought he wrote the talking points.
MATALIN: He can't write. He can only talk.
