Was this 'deceitful and immature'?

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - The leading candidate for mayor of San Antonio admitted on Thursday using his twin brother as a stand-in at a civic event without telling anyone it was not him.

"He was standing in the River Parade because I had to host a neighborhood leaders meeting," said Castro.

Julian's mayoral opponents attacked his use of a stand-in as "deceitful" and "immature."

Deceitful? Yeah. Immature? Maybe.

It's a bit too bizarre to really get annoyed about, but I suppose if I was from there I might think differently.

Good fodder for a soap opera though. Good twin runs for office and wins, evil twin does away with him and takes power. BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

...that if the Vice President's first name is taboo, then the President's last name should be also.
