I was just searching the net for Graham Chapman’s autobiography, which is called A Liar’s Autobiography. So I was Googling the phrase ‘liar autobiography’.
Among the results was Biography of President George W. Bush. Strangely, the page does not actually contain the word ‘liar’, neither in the page itself, nor in the source code. This is more than just any T, D and H calling him a liar. This is official!
I think I will start believing in providence now.

'Since then, President Bush has taken unprecedented steps to protect our homeland and create a world free from terror. '
'The President is confident that by helping build free and prosperous societies, our Nation and our friends and allies will succeed in making America more secure and the world more peaceful.'
Do the above lines not scream 'liar, liar, a real bloody liar'?

@Ambar: Thanks. You're the first one to say that.
@Kavitha: Hmm ... Google has artificial intelligence! ;)
@Charu: Worth thinking about, and certainly better than actual moral policing.

The term Google bombing explains the reason behind this.
Google bombing is a popular method used by many people to achieve a higher pagerank on google. Since google page rank counts the number of 'votes' (Pages linking to a particular page) and the number of hits.
If some prankster decided to link the page to Bush's Biography using the link text "liar autobigraphy" the search term liar autobiography appears first in the google search results.
Hope I have solved your quandary. And by the way. Nice stories, too.
Cheerio.

Hmm. That explains it. Seems like there may be someone who cares enough for the truth to do this sort of thing. (Kidding.)
