September 14, 200521 yr It's only the result of a bunch of losers with too much time on their hands... 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. When such a tactic is taken to a large scale, as in this case, it is called Googlebombing. The blog, Old Fashioned Patriot [3], claims to be the origin of this particular Google bomb. In retaliation, Bush supporters Google-bombed Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton, and Michael Moore with the same phrase. Ironically, some people might misinterpret Michael Moore's listing to mean that Moore was a major person behind the Googlebombing rather than actually being a "miserable failure." Lending some believability, Moore has used these words to describe Bush on his site [4]. Furthermore, it was recently discovered that clicking on the Michael Moore webpage from the Google "Miserable Failure" search results would redirect the user to the biography of President Bush, as noted in a recent blog post.
