    This is too funny! Go to Google search, type in "failure" and see what comes up. 'I'm feeling lucky' or regular search, the number one item is............well, you'll see. I'm sure Google will be changing it soon, so check it out while it's still there. [​IMG]

    It's called a 'google bomb'. you see google not only searches based on the number of hits a site has for a query, but also for the number of sites that have it linked under that query. See, a bunch of lefties started pasting the link "miserable failure" to a picture of W, so after a while it started coming up as the number 1 pick.
    If you do the image search you will find a pic of bush, kerry, and hillary clinton.

    ^ Hey, thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what caused it. I mean the word failure is nowhere in the bio - I read it. HAHAHAHA

    It's a relatively recent political trick taking advantage of technology. In the 90s, the Republicans were using the hot new morphing technology in their commercials and morphing candidates' faces (Democrats and even other Republicans they didn't like) into Clinton. A couple years later after Gingrich made a fool of himself and resigned, Democrats were running ads during elections that morphed Republican candidates into Gingrich.

    Who knows what political trickery the next technological craze will bring. :)
