Not cool.
I wonder how many more times this same thing is going to come up?? I have seen this same thing posted so much lately.
Not new either.
Yeah. Exactly. I've seen this on Mototalk a few times too.
What's the point?

I guess this validates Bush as being a failure in some peoples eyes???? Democrats probably... :D
Hmm...I would suspect they would take a different point of view (or already do alter the results) if this were to happen to them or one of their major sponsors.
Googlebombing 'failure'

If you do a Google search on the word [failure] or the phrase [miserable failure], the top result is currently the White Houses 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.
