http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-reportWASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)After having difficulty persuading prominent entertainers to participate at the event, the Trump transition team announced on Sunday that the Russian President Vladimir Putin would sing at Donald J. Trumps Inauguration next month.
In a brief statement from the Kremlin, Putin said, I will be most delighted to perform for my comrade.
The choice of Putin raised eyebrows in Washington, since the Russian, while famous for invading neighboring countries and imprisoning political opponents, is not particularly well known as a singer.
The Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway pushed back against such criticism during an appearance on CNN. If we limited ourselves to people who had talent and experience, that would disqualify half of our Cabinet, she said.

Jackie Evancho.
But it would be even better if he danced!
