James Carville's Spiral Into Madness: It's An FBI-GOP-KGB Conspiracy!
"We're not going to come together with the Republicans and KGB working together, I'll tell you that."

We're not sure whether to laugh in amusement or be genuinely concerned for their mental well-being as Clinton surrogates descend deeper into madness.
FBI Director James Comey's announcement last week that his bureau reopened the Hillary Clinton email investigation blindsided Democrats, and it is clear they've been scrambling to find the right set of talking points to deflect the damaging news. With just one week until election day and Hillary Clinton's polling leads diminishing by the day, Democrats' stress-level is now at a fever-pitch, and many of them, like James Carville, are cracking under the pressure.
The only thing left for a desperate Clinton surrogate to do is accuse Jim Comey and the entire GOP and FBI of being stooges for Russia.
Behold Carville's downward spiral as he screams down MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts and demands he agree with Democrats' latest paranoid delusions of a vast, right conspiracy with Vladimir Putin:
He [Comey] was acting in concert and coordination with the House Republicans. End of story. He gave a letter to them. They gave it to FOX News. Also, we have this extraordinary case of the KGB being involved in this race and selectively leaking things from the Clinton campaign that they hacked.
So American democracy is really under attack here. And the question is how are we and in particular and how are Democrats going to respond to this. We have to understand this is really, really quite extraordinary. And it would seem to me that the FBI shouldn't be getting rolled by the House Republicans and that's what happened here. There is nothing going on and in the meantime we do know that our democracy is under assault by the KGB. To me, that's something we ought to be talking about. That's a relevant issue in this campaign. And people have to decide do we want our country for ourselves with the people in charge or are we going to elect the the KGB and the House Republicans to decide this election.
Roberts then pressed Carville for lauding Comey just months ago when he refused to bring charges against Clinton. "Isn't this a double standard?," Roberts asked.
Well, that's when Carville lost it again:
"It isn't a double standard at all! When the facts change, you change your mind. I know that is a hard concept for people to get sometimes.
It is unprecedented. Look at what's going on. You are sitting here defending an assault on American democracy. Somebody probably said nice things about anybody at a given point. This is an unprecedented event that was done at the behest of the House Republicans that was leaked to the press by the House Republicans. And as we know the KGB is all over this election. And this is what we're talking about. We ought to be talking about our democracy being under assault right now and what we're going to do about it and not what somebody said in July about James Comey. That's a distraction, that's not what's going on...
We're not going to come together with the Republicans and KGB working together, I'll tell you that!"
First of all, Comey's announcement isn't unprecedented at all. In fact, just before the 1992 election concluded, then-special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh indicted Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger for his involvement in the Iran-Contra affair, challenging George H. Bush's claim that he did not know about the arms-for-hostages deal at the time. Many believe it cost Bush the election.
Never mind though -- facts don't matter to Democrats, right? In fact, they apparently didn't even get the memo that the "KGB" hasn't existed for 25 years. Still, if the Left is so concerned about Putin meddling in America's affairs, they might want to ask Hillary Clinton why she sold 20% of our nation's uranium production to Russia.
