Sometimes, in the history of the English language, certain words change definition, and it becomes a miserable failure for a lot of people to try and comprehend why… or even worse, it becomes a miserable failure for them to stop the turning tide of redefinition. When I was notified by Anthony, The City Cynic, that George Bush got the highest rank for miserable failure in the Google search-engine rankings, I laughed it off as puerile. I suppose it would be a miserable failure for me to try and justify what I, and so many are trying to do, with this retaliatory Googlebomb.

John Cole is very indignant over the miserable failure that 12-year-old kids are trying to do. Bad kids! Bad, bad kids! Attempting to redefine the phrase miserable failure is not as wise as you think. See, we all know, that this can be very childish, true, but how else could this be fought? We wouldn’t allow ourselves to sit back and be a miserable failure, unable to fight a Googlebomb.

Some people might think that two wrongs don’t make it right, but it would only be a miserable failure to try and tell Google to rework their search engine ranking methods. So if we have to get down and dirty, we will, because I wouldn’t be part of a group that would be marked by miserable failure after miserable failure in the war of words.

Ultimately, as Ken Hahn, a commenter mentioned in John’s site, said:

Actually it’s pretty telling that the Democrats are devoted to winning the Google vote, Republicans prefer people. Of course in Chicago, St. Louis and other Democratic strongholds those 12 year olds may be voting, so we do need to defend the truth.

Now I wouldn’t go so far as to turn this into another Dem vs. Rep war, because it is such a miserable failure to fight in a battle like that. But mind you, dear friends, that as far as presidents go, we do know which one is the miserable failure.

UPDATE: Michael Demmons makes it clear that he, too, is not a miserable failure when it comes to Googlebombing.
