Googlebombing

As many are probably already aware it is possible to manipulate google's search index to promote a particular site. Their algorithm counts the number of other sites linking a site to try to determine its importance, the more links the higher it is in the search results. Apparently, this trick is becoming political. Now that it has been brought up, I thought I'd point out that this isn't new; all we need is another miserable failure in the government. Of course, us Americans can't be given all the credit for bad politics, looks like the UK gets the liars. To be fair, I guess you can be both a miserable failure and a great president. Want to pick on your own countries leader? Check out this Wikipedia article (near the bottom) for some more fun searches ;-)
