No longer a miserable failure?
Googling “miserable failure” no longer takes you to President Bush’s home page at the White House. Google explains that “by improving our analysis of the link structure of the Web,” such mischief will now “typically return commentary, discussions, and articles” about the tactic itself.

Makes no difference, he is still the poster chymp for failure.
January 29th, 2007 at 11:06 amDid the Republican buy-out Google now? what a shame.
January 29th, 2007 at 11:06 amThe Google are a bunch of party poopers.
Googling “Santorum” still works though…..hmmmm….

Bush likely to attack Iran b4 end of April
January 29th, 2007 at 11:07 amwhat exactly qualifies as “miserable failure” in their eyes?
January 29th, 2007 at 11:11 amAnd it took them only a few years! I don’t think they were trying too hard to fix it.
January 29th, 2007 at 11:18 amThe end of an era…
January 29th, 2007 at 11:19 amAs much as I agree that Bush IS a miserable failure, googling ‘Miserable Failure’ should NOT return the Whitehouse website. Google fixed an error in their search algorithm which prevents, say, “Raving Psychopath” from linking to Howard Dean’s site, “Vicious C*nt” from returning Hillary Clinton’s site, “Slick Willie” from returning Bill Clinton’s site, and “Jihadi Lovers” from returning the Democratic Party’s website. Don’t think for a second that the folks from the OTHER side of the aisle wouldn’t do that. I have nothing against “Bush Miserable Failure” returning a site that talks about how Bush is a miserable failure, but under no circumstance should it actually return the Whitehouse, period.
January 29th, 2007 at 11:22 amI give the geeks one week to restore the link.
January 29th, 2007 at 11:23 amDan Savage’s alternative definition of “santorum” is still #1, though, so take heart.
January 29th, 2007 at 11:47 ammaybe so, but yahoo still gets bush first in line!
January 29th, 2007 at 11:50 amI’ve noticed within the past year that it is much more difficult Googling for information and past quotes from the Bush administration and have suspected that Google is scrubbing links to this material.
January 29th, 2007 at 11:55 amAt least the ‘French military victories’ search still works … heh
January 29th, 2007 at 12:15 pmHaven’t you all heard?
The Shrub Googles, so it stands to reason that there no longer will be any derogatory comments about him.
January 29th, 2007 at 12:28 pmThe Santorum one is disgusting and totally awesome.
“Satirical attempt” heh.
January 29th, 2007 at 12:36 pmTry using google, without giving them your search findings to pad their web pointers:

Anonymous “scraping”. Gotta love it.
January 29th, 2007 at 12:36 pmWhat do you mean, that googling the President Bush’s home page in the White House web doesn’t show now the home page of the miserable failure impersonated in Bush’s miserable person?
/Sarcasm (?) off
January 29th, 2007 at 12:50 pmIt’s STILL TRUE that:
there were no WMDs
the insurgency was not in it’s last throes
Brownie didn’t do a heckeva job
and
Bush IS a miserable failure.
January 29th, 2007 at 2:01 pm#3 – Thanks, I was unaware of that google bomb.
January 29th, 2007 at 2:15 pmgood ol’ gee dub still pops up on copernic.com as a miserable failure(#2, but at least he’s up there)…perhaps we should all stop using google and start using other search engines to teach ‘em a lesson *grin*

Delightfully icky…..
January 29th, 2007 at 3:37 pmgoogle sucks anyway…just another corporate schill sucummbing to tthe regime
January 29th, 2007 at 10:44 pmTry not to forget something kids… there is a whole other half of the country that thinks the Democrats are going to destroy the country. For as much as you sit around thinking things about the right we feel exactly the same about you. RIght or wrong is a state of mind and a matter of perspective. Just trying to point out you do not own the moral high ground. There is a whole world out here who hates you and your policies as much as you hate us so call neo-cons. Enjoy your conspiracy theories, power corrupts and your darlings in washington are already back biting and falling apart. When Rangel is finished drafting you into the army pelosi and friends will have you eating tuna at the camp PX.
