Well, you and I got the same result.
That is interesting.
you gotta love google bombs.
Same here! Whats up?
Another case of the truth being funnier than fiction.
This is obnoxious. Bush-bashing is so 5 minutes ago. What next, a link to the dancing Osamas? Ooooh, maybe a Lewinsky-cigar joke!
[exasperated sigh]
It doesn’t point there anymore.
Bush Bashing will still be in style for another 11 months or so…
How can Bush bashing be so out of style already?
Besides, that isn’t bashing, that is truth. He doesn’t even make a good Republican, which also makes him a failure in that category. He has not found Saddam, Bin Laden, or WMDs. He has done nearly everything that goes against traditional republican values, except cut taxes for the wealthy and make sure his fat rich business buddies get richer through all of his forays into what can only be characterized not as law, but cynical neoconservatism as he borrows the bit song from “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” — you know, that ‘side-step’ song.
And what was up with that whole Air Force One sighting bs? It was just another way to make our Pres seem so gamely risk taking while going into Iraq. Sure it was a risk. It is dangerous as hell there. Just ask the families of all the slain soldiers. Oh, but how can you know who they are when no pictures are allowed of all the dead military arriving back on US soil?
Bush is a disgrace by any measure a person can make except that maybe he is a reformed alcoholic and cocaine abuser. I give him credit for that, but he doesn’t talk about failures of the past. That is a good thing too, for the draft dodging son of a congressman (then).
He has a long long list of failures. That is fact.
mine still shows the GWB bio.
but then I am using google.de

What constitutes a failure in one’s eyes may be success in another’s.

“that isn’t bashing, that is truth”
No, that is an opinion. Opinion is always based on individual beliefs, but truth is not a matter of opinion (i.e. 2+2=4).
“He has done nearly everything that goes against traditional republican values, except cut taxes for the wealthy…”
Funny, but I recall everyone getting a tax cut.
“…and make sure his fat rich business buddies get richer through all of his forays into what can only be characterized not as law, but cynical neoconservatism as he borrows the bit song from ‘The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas’”
Huh?
For the love of the Goddess â?¦
Chad How can Bush bashing be so out of style already?
Itâ??s not, but only because hypocritical liberals are sooo easily amused.
Chad Besides, that isn’t bashing, that is truth.
Iâ??d be curious to hear your definition of the term â??Truthâ??
Chad He doesn’t even make a good Republican, which also makes him a failure in that category.
I-yie-yie â?¦ I disagree, I think he makes a perfect Republican. He just isnâ??t a Libertarian (or a libertarian).
Chad He has not found Saddam, Bin Laden, or WMDs.
Neither did Billy-boy-Clinton, in fact, I donâ??t think Clinton even made much of an effort.
Chad He has done nearly everything that goes against traditional republican values, except cut taxes â?¦
Which is pretty much the Republican party in a nutshell (at least the fundamental difference between them and the Democrats).
Chad [Cut Taxes â?¦] for the wealthy and make sure his fat rich business buddies get richer through all of his forays into what can only be characterized not as law, but cynical neoconservatism as he borrows the bit song from “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” — you know, that ‘side-step’ song.
Well, at least no one can accuse you of having a bias on the issue. (*rolleyes*)
Tax cuts for the wealthy and â??Fatâ? rich business buddies. Perhaps you should offer us a side order of racial-warfare to go with the (blatant) main course of class-warfare you’re serving up?
Chad And what was up with that whole Air Force One sighting bs? It was just another way to make our Pres seem so gamely risk taking while going into Iraq.
Pessimism â?¦ cynicism â?¦ hypocrisy â?¦ let me guess youâ??re an Atheist?
Chad Sure it was a risk. It is dangerous as hell there. Just ask the families of all the slain soldiers. Oh, but how can you know who they are when no pictures are allowed of all the dead military arriving back on US soil?
Actually I think they inform the families when a soldier gets killed. But I am sure you can see lots of gruesome pictures of dead Americans on Al-Jazeera if that kind of thing â??gets your rocks offâ?.
Chad Bush is a disgrace by any measure a person can make except that maybe he is a reformed alcoholic and cocaine abuser.
Ahhh, so you donâ??t admire the president of the most powerful empire the world has ever seen, but you do have a deep respect for former drug users and alcoholics? Some how your upside-down, inside-out view of reality doesnâ??t surprise me all that much.
Chad I give him credit for that, but he doesn’t talk about failures of the past. That is a good thing too, for the draft dodging son of a congressman (then).
Ohhh, boo-hoo-hoo (*sob*, *sniff*). I guess we all canâ??t be pessimist now can we? I mean, if everybody was a pessimist, then how could you tell the difference?
Chad He has a long long list of failures. That is fact.
I donâ??t suppose you would care to be more specific? (especially since you have all the â??factsâ? on your side?)
Aww…isn’t that cute, Google got a slam in on Bush. Tee hee.
Hmm..do you suppose that they support Dick Gephardt for Prez? (if you do the search normally, Dick Gephardt’s website comes in number 3)
Remember, Google leaves nothing to chance, they can rank sites (results) anyway they want. (you can get your site listed higher if you give up some $$ to Google for “advertising”)
You morons. This is called a “Google bomb”. It has nothing to do with Google company liking or hating Bush. Read here to see how it works:

Here are the guys responsible for it:

Chad – pay no attention to the Bush apologists. You’ve made some excellent points.
Roger – Bush’s tax cut was directed at the rich. Yes, everybody got a few scraps, so disingenous people like yourself and Bush can claim it was directed to everybody. Bush is attempting to deprogressivize the tax code – cuts in dividend and capital gains taxes, along with the huge drop in the top rate (39.6% to 35%) prove that.
> Bush is attempting to deprogressivize
> the tax code
And that’s a problem because?
ok, all i can say is that was hilarious. So were most of the comments except for the usual decent into the “my party’s better than yours” debate. Come on Republicans, you’ve got the White House, the legislature, and ostensibly the judiciary, yet you still can’t have a goodheared laugh, or let anyone else get a way with a jab at your president. Oh yeah, you tried to impeach Clinton when he did that whole cigar thing w/Monica but Bush might have lied about big “missiles” and you’ll have none of it.
A siimlar google bomb directed searchers for “weapons of mass destruction” to a rendition of a “404: file not found” page
A google bomb. It goes to the official website of the President? Knowing Bush’s sense of humor, he did this himself.
Serpent says Mr Bush is……
“the president of the most powerful empire the world has ever seen”.
I bet Genghis Khan would kick his lily-white ass.
Oh boy, there goes that “tax cuts were for the rich” tired old line.
Excuse me, but the rich pay all the fucking taxes. Stands to reason that they get some back.
Wallster -
A “Bush apologist”? All I did was point out Chad’s confusion of opinion and truth.
“Bush’s tax cut was directed at the rich. Yes, everybody got a few scraps, so disingenous people like yourself and Bush can claim it was directed to everybody”
Let’s see… Everyone got a tax cut, with a larger percentage cut going to those with smaller incomes. Further, the rebate checks were the same for everybody, making them disproportionately weighted again toward lower wage earners. Both, of course are in terms of percentage cuts, a concept which contemporary liberals refuse to grasp.
And you call ME disingenous? You guys ARE always good for a laugh.
(for the record, I am less than pleased with several key things Bush has done so far (i.e. steel tariffs, campaign finance reform, really BIG spending), but tax cuts are not one of them)
Benny M -
“Come on Republicans, you’ve got the White House, the legislature, and ostensibly the judiciary, yet you still can’t have a goodheared laugh…”
I love a good laugh, but as a prerequisite, the subject matter must actually be funny. This is just tired, worn-out material.
Wallster – Try and imagine this, to someone who makes $30k annually, barely supporting his family, and receives a $400 rebate for each child, it was a huge and relevant tax cut, and he doesn’t give a crap what the rich got. He just knows that he was able to buy his kids new school clothes and supplies without having to starve himself to do it.
You seem a little arrogant calling that “scraps”.
I appreciate the standard response of “That tired old line.” It’s not even a denial.
At least have some argument in your arguments.
So three Monkeys Butlers walk into a bar, the first one says to the bartender…ahh forget it, the Bush arguement is much more enjoyable.
DougB -
We don’t seriously have to define a “tired old line” for you, do we?
The old, “Bush’s tax cuts were directed at the rich” has been refuted sufficiently here as well as countless other places, so I see no need to re-state it yet again.
If you don’t (or won’t) understand it by now, I imagine you never will. Some people think it is fair to disproportionately tax the rich in an attempt to support the poor, and others, including me, don’t.
I am employed by a rich man, and I work hard to make him even richer. It’s a strange phenomenon, but the more money he has, the more I seem to have. Go figure.
Regarding the “miserable failure” line…
What candidate has ever felt otherwise about the current President? Calling the president a “miserable failure”, and passing it off as Fact is standard procedure. THAT is why it is both tired and old.
Having an opinion about whether or not Bush is a “miserable failure” is fine. Just don’t try to spread an undefinable (universally) and therefore entirely subjective opinion as The Truth.
Concerning GWB (or we can just overarchingly call it GOP) failures:
http://www.mises.org/freemarket_detail.asp?control=463
“For all its rhetoric about free trade and free enterprise, you can always count on the Republican Party to back a protectionist plan if it is supported by a big business with good connections. The Bush administration has followed in the footsteps of the previous Bush administration and even the Reagan administrationâ??and most famously the Hoover administrationâ??in violating its supposed principles to help its friends. The costs of all of this are incalculable, and the American consumer is paying them. American retailers and wholesalers are paying them as well. This drains resources that could be going to boosting prospects for the US economy.”
- Lew Rockwell
and this one on big government GOP http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul145.html
You see, if one is to call oneself a Republican, and if the person in particular is the President of the US, you would think that person would adhere to the principles that guide the overall philosophies of the party. Sure there will be some who are more intense about abortion or any other high octane social topic, but overall, our current administration can be seen as a failure in terms of GOP standards. So, as I said, it can be viewed as failure.
I am unsure why Clinton’s name is always invoked when we criticize Bush. (“Well Clinton did this….and Clinton didn’t do that….”) Sheesh. What is up with that? We all know Clinton screwed up in a lot of ways. We talk about that also. However, Bush promised us a few things. I think we reserve the right to grade him on the failure to deliver on those promises. In fact, it is our duty to do so.
Regarding the deaths of soldiers in Iraq, I will only say that I find it very sad. I never said the families were not notified. I am a veteran and now work as a DoD civilian. I find it completely unforgivable that our President has decided he must hide his war dead. These fine soldiers, airmen, marines, and seamen deserve their country’s recognition. Bush has made it political and therefore very cynical to hide the war dead. If it shows failure, he will have none of it.
I said he was a success in his kicking of his cocaine habit and alcoholism. I gave him credit for that. Try not twist my words too much.
Signed,
Chad, the non-atheist, mostly pagan, sometimes pessimistic, sometimes optimistic disliker of the lying Shrub and his merry band of thugs.
“Some people think it is fair to disproportionately tax the rich in an attempt to support the poor, and others…”
You have just defined socialism.
Chad -
Now that I see Lew Rockwell also considers GWB a failure, then it must no longer be an opinion. It is now a documented fact.
C’mon, man – You’ve missed the point alltogether. All anyone has been saying is that whether or not GWB is a failure depends on perspective. Finding someone else who shares your opinion doesn’t make it a truth. All it does is prove that you aren’t alone in your opinion.
“Bush promised us a few things. I think we reserve the right to grade him on the failure to deliver on those promises”
Nobody has suggested that you shouldn’t have that right. You’ve made your opinion quite clearly. Your mistake was in declaring your opinion to be the definitive truth.
Roger,
I see your point.
My opinion, then, is that I think of him as a miserable failure.
What’s Going On With This?
I got this from the Agitator. Go to Google. Type in this phrase: “miserable failure” Now hit the “I Feel Lucky Button.” Notice that it will immediately take you to the biography of President George W. Bush at the White
My blog explains the whole Iraq thing, and much of GWB’s motivation.

The People have spoken..
Go to Google, type “miserable failure”, click “I’m feeling lucky”. Report back with your results. This is what I got. I got this from The Agitator. Thanks for the laugh. Republicans, repeat after me: “its only a joke…
You republicans need to develop a sense of humor: life is pretty hard going with such thin skins.
Butch up, cupcakes.
