Morning Reading - Inaugural Entertainment

If it's Andy Borowitz, you know it's to laugh.  Under the headline, "Putin To Sing At Trump Inauguration," he "reports":

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. Trump’s Inauguration next month.

Facing criticism that Putin is neither a singer nor an experienced performer,

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.

In reality, neo- fascist toxin Donald "Rump" Trump is having problems getting "A-list" entertainers to scuttle their careers by performing at his installation as unpresident, even after going so far as dangling ambassadorships as incentives. In the end, he may be stuck with shitstain supporters like Kid "Dumb As A" Rock and Ted "I Crapped My Pants" Nugent. We don't think they would need an ambassadorship to perform, but if they do, Rock could be ambassador to "Dumbf--kistan," a place he's intimately familiar with.  We'd suggest Nugent for Russia.

BONUS: This won't happen because of logistics and prior commitments, but wouldn't it be a hoot to have  an alternative, nationally-televised event/concert on January 20 involving yuge performing acts during the inauguration and subsequent balls? It would suck some oxygen from Rump's special day.
