George W. Bush: Miserable Failure

"If you go to the Internet search engine Google, type in 'miserable failure,' and click on the 'I'm feeling lucky' icon," The New Yorker reported in 2004, "you will be directed not to an article about 'Ishtar' or the 1962 Mets but [thanks to a carefully constructed set of self-referencing web pages] to the White House Web site and the official biography of President George W. Bush..."

[A search for "Dumb motherf---er" once had a similar effect. Other famous "Google bombs" include one linking "more evil than Satan himself" to Microsoft's home page (Bill Gates) and one linking "weapons of mass destruction" (War in Iraq) to a page reading, "The weapons you are looking for are currently unavailable... Click the Regime Change button, or try again later."]


Bush, George Walker [George Bush, Jr] [Dubya] (1946-    ) American politician, Texas governor (1995-2000), 43rd President of the United States (2001- )
