I'm taking part in a new web project...
From this day forth, I will refer to George W. Bush as a Miserable Failure at least once a day. Why, you ask? Well, someone came up with this great idea to link George W. Bush and Miserable Failure in popular search engines. If you have a blog or web site, help raise the link between George W. Bush and the phrase 'miserable failure' by copying this link and placing somewhere on your site or blog.
Thank you very much for your participation.

That is genius. I could add a few other keywords, like "pathetic". I will post it on my blog now...

The key is stating it in connection with terms that will be widely searched. It does no good to simply say "George Bush is a miserable failure" because no one will ever search for that. It might be fun at a parties to show how often the two are in the same sentence in a Google search, but otherwise it does little to advance the theme.
What will work is connecting it to frequent search times, such as "Iraq policy". For instance "George Bush's Iraq Policy is a miserable failure."
The plan shouldn't be to link Miserable Failure to George Bush, but to link Miserable Failure to George Bush and two or three choice, frequently searched phrases.
Overture.com has a keyword suggestion tool that shows how many times certain terms are coming up in searches. Using that tool, I can determine that in September the search for "bush george iraq saddam" gets about 12 times more queries than "george bush iraq speech". "george bush biography" gets a huge amounts of hits compared to something like "george bush policy".
So someone needs to write about three complete sentences using these terms based on verfiable search results and including the "miserable failure" phrase and then advocate for that exact usage.
According to Overture, the phrases "george Bush miserable failure" were not queried even once in their sample during the month just passed.

how about drunken, illiterate, mendacious, runt-like miserable failure?

Hahaha, that's very productive. This is why everyone knows that liberals are stupid. They do stupid things.

how about, instead of calling it lies--anyone can lie--how about calling it HORSEFEATHERS AND CODSWALLOP! Pin that on him too.

Joe B, of course nobody's searching for "George Bush miserable failure." The point is that when people search for "miserable failure" they'll find George Bush. When they search for George Bush, they'll find miserable failure. Get it?

It's already worked.
Type "miserable failure" into Google...

Dick Gephardt may have beat you to the punch.When I use Copernic to search this and this come up in the top ten across 15 search engines.

You can double the effectiveness, by linking the "George Bush" of "George Bush is a Miserable Failure" to another site, one which shows what a Miserable Failure he is.

Much has been made about the stunning 7% growth rate of the economy, but much of it misses the bigger picture.
When Bush was elected by a 5-4 vote, I thought his economic policy would be mildly bad, kind of like his father. As time went on, I thought it was going to be REALLY bad. Now, I no longer believe miserable failure the that is the Bush administration has an economic policy of any kind.
