There are some moments so precious, so pregnant with impending joy, that one simply must point them out, that the true American spirit yet thrives. Thank you, Al Gore, for inventing the internet and making such moments possible… > **[Miserable Failure](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/someone-set-us-up-the-google-bomb/)** > > Why is the phrase 'miserable failure' tied to President Bush's biography in Google?

_a future pundit/newscast_ “…could have imagined that the entire election would turn on the power of the Netgeek demographic, which has crushed even the influence of the “metrosexuals”. They appear to be led by a shadowy group called the “Cecilians” or the “SDMB”. Neither the CIA nor the FBI has the slightest idea…” “Let me interrupt a with a question, Britt. Are these “Cecilians” liberal or conservative?” “Very definely reflective of a liberal bias, save for a few curmudgeons who hang on out of sheer obstinance, a faction known as the **Decembrists** for thier martyred leader…” ---

I tried typing in “dumb motherfucker” in Google. I didn’t get the Bush online store, just an article from Wired magazine. However, I did get a pop-up window advertising a mosaic of GWB’s head made up entirely of human anuses: [http://www.artofresistance.org/bush\_mosaic/](http://www.artofresistance.org/bush_mosaic/) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-bush-google-bomb/218530.md?page=2)
