MISERABLE FAILURE — by Steve Nadis
Type in the words “miserable failure” on Google and the first person that comes up is “President of the United States–George W. Bush.” It’s an example of so-called “Google bombing”–a way of manipulating Google searches to reach a desired end. So in a sense, it’s just a web artifact, a “hack,” if you will. Yet the words still seem appropriate, in light of our president’s miserable performance to date and in light of the Democrats’ big victory yesterday, which has to be interpreted as a repudiation of Bush’s policies–especially how he got our nation embroiled in a bloody, winless conflict in Iraq that has left us with no good options, just different ways of losing. The only gratifying aspect to all this is that U.S. voters have finally recognized our president for what Google aficionados have long known him to be: a “miserable failure.”

What I can’t understand Snake is: what took everyone so long? Couldn’t anyone see what this guy was about back in 2000? And I guess lying us into a war wasn’t a big enough screw up for folks in 2004. It’s great voters finally came to their senses, too bad it’s so damn late.
Well……John Kerry wasn’t much of a choice. The Democrats need a GREAT candidate. Heck, I think I’ll vote for Lassie (alive of course) over the next Republican.
Yes, Doc, it is amazing it took 6 years. On the other hand, WFW raises a good point. John Kerry was not the best candidate. Despite other virtues and his heroism in Vietnam, he is not a natural politician.
