The Westminster Kennel Club dog show produced an irresistible angle when it selected Stump the Sussex Spaniel as its Best in Show. Stump, at ten years old, is two year's older than Westminster's previous oldest Top Dog. "I guess ten is the new eight," joked CBS anchor Katie Couric as she narrated video of Stump's triumph from Washington DC. ABC's Sharyn Alfonsi stretched too far in a convoluted anthropomorphic comparison that tried to imagine Goldie Hawn, the sixtysomething actress, on the cover of the bathing suit issue of Sports Illustrated and then compared Stump with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and Jack Nicholson.
NBC's Mike Taibbi got to scratch Stump's head to close his report: "He had the crowd from his first floppy eared, tail wagging, low slung plod across the floor."
