George W. Bush: Google's #1 Failure

In the words of our close friend Stephen Colbert, "George W. Bush: Great President, or The Greatest President?"

Exactly.

According to Google, the answer, apparently, is neither. We're not sure how long this will remain the case, but if you go to Google right now and search "failure," you will get a link to the government page for the White House and W.

Guess the cat's finally out of the bag. And we have the intranets to prove it.

Last we heard, Bush was seen standing in front of a mirror in the West Wing preparing a series of condescending smirks to offer the web giant.

Keep your fingers crossed for a Warner/Obama ticket for 2008 or buy your Stewart/Colbert '08 bumper stickers here.

While the Wikipedia listing may be correct ( I don't know for sure) please don't use Wikipedia as your reference for proof. That site is easily edited to say whtever anyone wants it to say. I could go therre now and put an acknowledgement that Googlewash is a hoax blah blah blah. Please quote something with some sort of credibility when posting links to support your claims. Quoting Wiki is like quoting something out of Us Magazine or The Star.

it has nothing to do with google having a position on the matter, rather it's a type of attack, called google bomb.

anyway... way to stay on top things, "The phrase "Google bombing" was added to the New Oxford American Dictionary in May 2005." yea... it's been around... well, lets just say a while..

if you type "worst president ever" and press the "feeling lucky" button it takes you to the same site. Google really wants to get the point across i suppose.

Good for them.

Heck, I even sent an email to the W house 2 years ago when I first found out about this Failure/Google link.

I am pretty sure that the whitehouse staff know how the majority of us feel about dubbya; and I get the sense that dubbya himself is oblivious to all criticism.

Ahh oblivious, first step toward oblivion.

Please. I'm in favor of a daily mocking.

November can't get here soon enough.

the better trick is entering "failure" and clicking the I'm Feeling Lucky button. That takes you straight to W's bio on the White House web site.

we thought it looked familiar. it's hard trying to work several jobs, some non-paying, rob. It's hard work. that and we just wanted to piss off "Gladiator" and the other conservatives that get all riled up when we mock the commander in chief. you're not one of them, too, are you? like i said, it's hard work remembering all this stuff. we're going to our ranch to clear brush if anyone needs us.
