...if you search miserable failure on google the #1 search result is the Biography of President George W. Bush... try it for yourself.

Just got through talking about this on another board. Did you hit Search or I"m Feeling Lucky?


http://www.rightnation.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=22840

I'm on this board under the callsign Firestorm. Note that some sections of the board cannot be accessed by people unless they have become a registered member.

IFL simply takes you to whatever has the most hits and falls within its search criteria for the words you've typed in.

It's kind of funny that they all seem to think the Google corporation is responsible for this...I guess some of them were too busy seeing red to read the explanations.

I knew how their system works already, I just thought it was funny. Frankly I don't care why it is that way, it was good for a laugh.

Apparently, there's a phrase in that bio in which Gebhardt calls Bush a "miserable failure" and that's what Google keyed off of. And since that article was the one with the most hits, "I'm Feeling Lucky" picked it up.
