What A miserable failure

By now you may have seen the story of the Googlebombing that linked "miserable failure" to the G.W. Bush bio.

Well, Deb has what I consider the best antidote to that. She links miserable failure to the most logical miserable failure of all. I should know! I was in high school during the heyday of the miserable failure in question.

Thus it is unfortunate that our efforts at correcting miserable failure have been diffused by people linking miserable failure to Hillary or Bill Clinton instead. They can't begin to match the level of miserable failure achieved by the miserable failure Jimmy Carter.

Granted, stagflation was an artifact of Johnson and Nixon, so the miserable failure didn't cause it. He just didn't handle it as well as less of a miserable failure might have done. He oozed malaise and an aura of miserable failure, rather than one of confidence and optimism. That makes a difference too.

Granted, oil crises went back to policies decades old, so being a miserable failure in that regard may have been inevitable. But still, it was a bad time for such a miserable failure to be in charge and compund things.

The miserable failure was truly a miserable failure at foreign policy. Achieving peace with Egypt through bribery and thanks to a more statesman-like leader in Egypt than was the miserable failure here at the time? Doesn't counter miserable failure status. Iran? Reeks of miserable failure. The miserable failure left the Middle East loons thinking that we could be pushed around, hit by planes, bombed, that sort of thing, and miserable failure Jr. simply made matters worse.

No, he oozed with miserable failure vibes and made us feel like we were a miserable failure as a nation. As a leader he was a miserable failure.

At delegating he was an infamous miserable failure, letting the little things bog him down. That's an easy way for an intelligent person to be remembered as a miserable failure.

What do you think? Is Carter not the best choice as miserable failure? I mean, really; we could replace "Carter" with "miserable failure." The miserable failure Institute. The miserable failure administration. Former President Jimmy miserable failure. Give it a try! Write your own take on the miserable failure.

Or just do what Gennie did, only pointing to the wrong miserable failure, and list the miserable failure links repeatedly. Like this:

miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure
miserable failure

And so forth. Come on, it's fun, and a great cause!

A spotted the same thing and was wondering what to do about it. Thanks for the heads up on this miserable failure!

I'm not certain that multiple links to miserable failure on one page will work. I think Google is likely to discount that.

Well then, a lot of us will just have to link with those words, from many pages!

I posted it on my blog - and also started a counter-googlebombing campaign called "great president."

Check it out.

I'm don't usually do politics, but I have to get in on this one. I'll post a link.

Great minds run in the same direction, but uh oh.

Because some OTHER bloggers (self included) have done the same thing, only they are linking to http://clinton.senate.gov/ instead.

dang it! The VWRC seems to be having some communication problems.

Michael Moore is now up where he belongs too.
