Newsday.com - Miserable Failure? Google Trick Says It's Bush: "Google bombings are created by people who run Web sites and Web logs, or blogs, which allow people to easily post information about particular topics. One person posts an idea for a bombing online, then it spreads like, you might say, Webfire.
The latest Google bombing appears to have spread within a matter of weeks.
It apparently doesn't take much for Google to make the association. At least 826 pages link to the Bush bio but just 32 of those pages include the phrase 'miserable failure,' according to a Google search.
In previous pranks, tricksters have rigged Google to bring up spoof pages. For instance, after France refused to join the coalition forces fighting Iraq, a Google search for 'French military victories' brought up a spoof page that said no documents were found and asked, 'Did you mean 'french military defeats.''"
