What is it with evil twins?

I'm sure many of you are aware that one of this man's legal defenses is that he has a twin who has been shoplifting, and this is all just a case of mistaken identity.

Now, via TPM, our very own Mean Jean Schmidt is trying the same defense, in response to reports that in 1984 she compared the young GOP activists to "young Hitlers." Now, through a spokesman, she is claiming that she never said anything like that, and that her twin sister, Jennifer Black, actually made the remark.

Two observations:

1) Mean Jean has a twin? Dear Lord, there are two of them?

2) I happen to have a twin brother. I wonder what I can blame on him . . .
