I tried this on four different Googles and I keep getting the same result. It's pretty funny if you think about it.
Type in "failure" and press on "I'm feeling lucky".
What do you get? Can it be? Is it true? Failure! Funny!
No need to check the entire site. Just look at who they're talking about.

This is old news by now. This was eve mentioned in a thread a while back. It's been going on for years. another one is French Military Victories.
It's called a Google Bomb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb). That page will explain all.
I like how the second result on the list for "failure" is Michael Moore's website.
The second link is actually a link to a George Bush collage on MichaelMoore.com, so it basically holds the same meaning as the first link.
It's interesting that people who liked Bush tried to perform an identical Google Bomb (very original thinking) but failed.
Anyhow, it's really old now.
George W Bush a miserable failure?
This is the first I've ever heard of such a thing.
Meh. Googling for WMDs used to be funnier.
what used to happen? I just get stuff about toothbrushes now.
You're supposed to run across Bush's website or something when you search 'miserable failure'.
I like how apparently the opposite end of Bush is M. Moore in the political spectrum of the US.
Just as there are other threads with Google's I'm Feeling Lucky as the topic there are even more about Bush and Moore.
Let me summarize:
Bush is an idiot who very few seem to like.
Moore is a fat loud-mouth who many seem to like (though not me).
There. Now we don't need to discuss it anymore ;)
However, I will suggest an alternate perversion of this topic:
George Bush and Michael Moore.
George Michael.
So if you combine a fat loud-mouth and an idiot with nuclear power ... you get a gay British Pop-star who enjoys masturbating in a public loo!!
Now that's a worthy discussion!
I just want to say that Bushmoore sounds like a mountain.
MooreBush sounds like a cheap porno film.

I think you're wrong there.

About the fat loud mouth? Or the "many seem to like"?
Really, he's fat, he's loud, and he has a mouth.

And of course, if this were a movie, there'd be the obligatory revelation that... "Mike.... I am your father! ghghghh"
I tried that old Steven Wright joke and asked Google where my keys are.

In conclusion, Google is a search engine that searches for things.
Bush isn't a failure. Everything's worked out great for him and his friends.

I kinda figured that out. I posted here because no one knew about it in my town, so I thought that maybe some people didn't know about it here.
