9. I think Dick Gephardt started it
with his catchphrase 'miserable failure' during the primaries.

11. Checked our "Miserable Failure" found this
From BBC website of 2003!

'Miserable failure' links to Bush


Bush has been the target of similar pranks before
George W Bush has been Google bombed.
Web users entering the words "miserable failure" into the popular search engine are directed to the biography of the president on the White House website.

The trick is possible because Google searches more than just the contents of web pages - it also counts how often a site is linked to, and with what words.

16. It's funny
that "the other side" has google bombed Michael Moore's site to come up with "failure" also.

Failure at what? Making movies? They are arguably quite successful - look at the sales - for one thing - and their impact - for another. Just that they are Google bombing him makes him more of a success.

But Bush - what has he succeeded at? Besides convincing many of his lies. Besides seeing that many more died in New Orleans than would have otherwise. Etc. Failure.
