One of the best posts yet on the Great Kate blog:

I recently deduced that everybody needs a doppelwanker.

This is not someone who resembles you closely and haunts you like a ghost. That, according to the Germans, is a doppelganger. Rather, a doppelwanker is someone who is as foolish as you are in the exact same ways that you are foolish. Sometimes you get along with this person famously and sometimes you don’t.

Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell are doppelwankers who make a point of clashing. Have you ever noticed that they look exactly the same except that Rosie’s hair is dark and Donald’s is fair? They both have beefy faces and small, mean mouths.

Just as important to their doppelwankery, however, is the fact that they are equally obnoxious attention hogs, which is most evident when they rip each other apart in public. Will they ever drop the pretext of hatred and become the fast friends they ought to have always been? Probably, and we’ll be asked to watch a reality show about it — they’ll marry and each will attempt to convert the other to his or her peculiar way of thinking. I look forward to reading about vast mutual bloodshed. …
