The Republican Shoplifter: Framed by His Evil Twin??

Say what now? Talking Points Memo just made me do a quick double take with their latest headline, "Niger Bamboozle Redux?" .. that turned out to be a boring post, but a little further down came this craziness: You know the Bush staffer Claude Allen who just got busted for shoplifting? Turns out it could be his evil twin brother who did it.. like for real..

Wash Post reporter: "Yes, he does. He has an identical twin brother who even close friends can’t tell them apart when they see them. And people have seen him and close friends say that Mr. Allen has indicated to them that maybe his brother holds the key to this entire puzzling affair..."

If this theory is true then I wonder if, on the other side of the coin, the evil shoplifting brother faces a similar dilemma? Like "people keep seeing my brother working for George freaking Bush, and thinking it's me! I've been trying to tell my shoplifting buddies I'd never throw my life away like that.."
