    I will be very surprised if Google doesn't get some negative publicity for this. They deserve it.

    Apparently Google had nothing to do with this.

    Also, I checked other search engines and 'miserable failure' yields the same results, albeit a few notches lower.

    normally the search words are marked if you look in the cached version of the site found, this time it says:
    These terms only appear in links pointing to this page: miserable failure

    My guess is that some jokers made many pages containing "miserable failure" with a link to the Bush site, google is probably not involved, just it's search engine is fooled, again.
