No, but I heard the news story on the NBC Nightly News; where an organization tried to slant the results of a Google Search to make more results for failure come up with George Bush as highest ranked result. Google is taking steps against this. It will be hard to actually stop all kinds of this activity, but it is an invalid result.
Everything is subjective and influenced by our perceptions and the perceptions of the people that observe and report the event. That's why you can't trust a historical account given by only one person, you don't know how they changed the account. (Oops, I just rendered large parts of the bible invalid, well that's just too bad for you.)

Here is the explanation from Google about GoogleBomb.
If you do a Google search on the word [failure] or the phrase [miserable failure], the top result is currently the White House’s official biographical page for President Bush. We've received some complaints recently from users who assume that this reflects a political bias on our part. I'd like to explain how these results come up in order to allay these concerns.
Google's search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush's website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases. We don't condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we're also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don't affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission.
