If you thought I was talking about Jim Doyle, who wants to hike taxes to unbelievably high levels and spend all that money as if he were Paris Hilton on a shopping spree through Beverly Hills, you'd be wrong... though I'd forgive you for thinking that.

I'm actually talking about Diamond Jim, the Springer Spaniel, who won Best in Show at Westminster last night:

An English springer spaniel with a preference for chicken-and-garlic treats prevented America's top dog event from turning into "The Cosby Show."

Diamond Jim jumped into handler Kellie Fitzgerald's arms after being picked for best in show Tuesday night at the Westminster Kennel Club.
...
Diamond Jim beat out a Dandie Dinmont terrier co-owned by Bill Cosby, as he did at the big AKC/Eukanuba event in December. The springer was the nation's No. 2 show dog last year behind Cosby's entry -- Fitzgerald also repeated, having gone best in show at Westminster in 2000.

Of course for me, Springer Spaniels will always hold a special place in my heart.  They really are the best dogs in the world.
