Holding up a picture of Russian spy Anna Chapman last July, Jay Leno asked Vice President Joe Biden, "Do we have any spies that hot?" Biden replied, "Let me be clear. It wasn't my idea to send her back. I thought maybe they'd take Rush Limbaugh or something. That would've been a good move."
I agree with the VP!
‘I’M A VERY GOOD SHOT’: FEMME FATALE SPY ANNA CHAPMAN NAMED RUSSIA’S WOMAN OF THE YEAR

December 31, 2010
Glamorous spy Anna Chapman was yesterday named Woman of the Year by Russia’s main Kremlin-owned TV station.
The red-haired agent has become one of Moscow’s most famous celebrities since the failure of her espionage mission.
She told viewers her favorite James Bond was Sean Connery, and she is also a fan of Angelina Jolie who played a ‘sleeper spy’ in the hit movie ‘Salt’.
'I’m a very good shot,' Chapman, 28. 'I have a passion for it, and I love going to shooting ranges.'
The state owned channel devoted a prime time slot to a eulogy to Chapman who was once married to a British man and expelled from America after being snared by the FBI.
She was presented with a lion cub live on state-owned television as a gift.
The red-haired lady said it had been her dream to own one before it became dangerous - so one was brought to her. She said she would call him Nano.
She sang patriotic songs with prime minister Vladimir Putin after she was sent back to Moscow in a dramatic Cold War-style spy swap in July.
Her relatives and teachers made appearances, and her first boyfriend even spoke of their first kiss, as her life story was told.
Chapman said she still starts every morning with exercise: 'I can't function normally if I don't do sports, it's very important for me.'
A school friend revealed how she had plotted to marry a British man as a teenage pupil. It was on her first visit to Britain aged 19 that she met Alex Chapman, a former public schoolboy, who she wed soon afterwards in Moscow.
She revealed that she will secure her own Russian TV show in the New Year, following on from a lingerie shoot for Maxim magazine in November.
Anna Chapman said she considers the failure of her mission a chance for new opportunities - though she declined to give details on what exactly her mission was.
Last month she also took up a position as a youth leader in Putin’s political party United Russia, and she works for a top bank.
'She is without exaggeration the woman of the year,' said Andrei Malakhov, the host of Let Them Speak, a popular Russian talk show.
But she gave no secrets away about her time in London or her spying mission. 'I will never confirm whether I worked in intelligence,' she told 70 million viewers.
But the real life Bondski girl - in a long bright green gown with black stockings and high heels - insisted: 'Loving your motherland is absolutely necessary to be happy.'
She refused to condemn the Russian ‘traitor’ who spilled her identify as a spy to the Americans.
'It’s not for me to judge, I wish for nothing negative to anyone, even a traitor. It’s his problem, not mine,' she said.
'What happened is for the best. It’s a beginning of something great and beautiful.'
She was one of ten Russian sleeper agents exposed in the United States and deported this summer in the biggest spy swap since the Cold War.
Russians have been waiting for her to finally speak publicly after months of teasing the media. She appeared at a Russian rocket launch in Kazakhstan where she brushed aside questions from a reporter.
