In another thread a BOTL that I wont mention, said Google 'failure'. He did that knowing GWB would be on the top of the list. Michael Moore was 2nd.

Here is why Bush is on the top. It's a lefty scam. They are manipulating the system to show Bush as the #1 listed under failures.

Below is the information I found on the right hand side of the Google page of results on 'failure'.

Googlebombing 'failure'

9/16/2005 12:54:00 PM

Posted by Marissa Mayer, Director of Consumer Web Products

If you do a Google search on the word [failure] or the phrase [miserable failure], the top result is currently the White House’s official biographical page for President Bush. We've received some complaints recently from users who assume that this reflects a political bias on our part. I'd like to explain how these results come up in order to allay these concerns.

Google's search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush's website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases. We don't condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we're also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don't affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission.

So "the lefties" either control the internet, are smarter then "the righties" or GW really is a miserable failure. Is that what you are saying?

Well, according to Al Gore, he invented it, so it seems only logical that they control it.

I'm saying that I just showed how the system is manipulated. It's a pretty simple explanation if you read it.

George Bush 1st and Michael Moore 2nd..........Hmmmmmmmmm..........I have no problem with 2 miserable failures being at the top the list. Seems like Google is doing a good job to me.
