Rush Limbaugh is...


Just to clarify, I didn't fill in those phrases. Google autofills as you type, offering suggestions based on other people's searches and available hits.

Try typing in other names: Nancy Pelosi, Anne Coulter, Barack Obama...

Addendum: Explained by Troy in the comments section as a Google Bomb.

  2. There is something fishy about the results. If you type 'Rush Limbaugh is g' you get more hits for "good" and "god" than the ones if you don't type the 'g'.

  3. its called a google bomb or googlewashing. You get the same sort of results for George Bush. It tricks google internet search bots to ranking pages and terms higher in ranking. Done by everyone.
    Obama is the antichrist is the top auto fillin

    at one time you could Google "French military victory" and Google responded there were no hits for your request.
