Betsy McCaughey: You're so rich. You can afford to provide care for anybody in your family, whatever they need.

The Communist Party of China today introduced the man who will stand in for General Secretary Hu Jintao at all future public appearances. The less-attractive elder statesman will be replaced by 24-year-old prefessional underwear model Zheng Li Luo.

A statement from the National People’s Congress explained the substitution is in the best national interest of China: “We must put the country first and project the right image. Our ruthless totalitarian dictators must appear to be flawless.”
