- dudefather, on 10/12/2007, -8/+49if only he was the greatest living American while wearing an ipod which he installed linux on, the internet would explode with nerd delight
- esotericguy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34HeS Become Too Powerfull!!
- MajinZero, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34What's the complete opposite from flaccid with rage?
- lessaid, on 10/12/2007, -8/+31Try "Greatest Living French"

=> gay apartments rental - nice gay furnished apartments ... - D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -11/+33He's better than Bush?
- TeatimeGrommit, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23Turgid with apathy? Interesting concept.
- p0tent1al, on 10/12/2007, -7/+26Long live the Greatest Living American, Stephen Colbert
- Snorglorf, on 10/12/2007, -11/+29I'm not going to argue with that one.
- UnknownCzar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Well... Vonnegut IS dead now... so even though I also agree he should have been numba 1, it's kinda past that point now..
- Providence, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Yeah, that's pretty quick!
I can't wait to see him reference this on his show. - TROGDOR42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Congratulations, you spam Digg with links to your own Digg ripoff. Welcome to this wonderful place we call my block list.
- lkmbrd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Guess their "Google bombing fix" isn't infallible.
- drilldown, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7HAMMERTIME
www.colbernation.com
is officially down for the count as of this frontpage digg - sharkbaitbobby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6There's an idea!
If you type certain questions into Google, you'll get an answer, such as http://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+the+population+of+japan%3F
So, theoretically, if some high PR sites/pages put the string "Stephen Colbert is the greatest living American", you may get Stephen Colbert if you go to http://www.google.com/search?q=who+is+the+greatest+living+american%3F (which already has colbertnation.com for the first result)
That would make it the best Googlebomb ever. - Toupee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7But your document doesn't actually do *****...
- PATSCRU, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7erect with enthusiasm
- TheLD, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Also the "greatest living person/guy" and the second "greatest living man"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=greatest+living+person - WiseWeasel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7engorged with satisfaction?
- numikikai, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3he's not that funny
- dannysullivan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.alchemistmedia.com/blog/mission-accomplished-top-ranking-in-google
Very funny congrats to Colbert from the site that started the campaign to get him ranked in Google! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+10i did my part, i published a google doc that said he was last week
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd23xdjh_54crq5hn - cyks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why bury bcasper?
His comment is valid. - bioskope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The background story on this
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/stephen-colbert-the-greatest-living-american-a-googlebombing-campaign - ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act."
..you should know the author of this one. - xmuzik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1his best skit was the animated intro to the attack on christmas where they had a animated jesus come out of the tomb busting caps from a .45
that was priceless :) - b3mus3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1hehe, all the stories are submitted by the same two people and have either one or two digs :D
- zdiggler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm sure we'll hear this story on his show on Monday.
- cledford, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1he needs better hosting :/

- zeezeetopzac, on 03/18/2009, -0/+0How can you not root for someone who defies logic and doesn't concern himself with the need to be Politically Correct.
- awinters, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0He's a funny dude. He's definately earned the credit. He's been consistently funny since the beginning of the show with just a few off nights. How can I get paid millions to act like a fool for a half hour 4 nights a week?
- Akronos, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3You is not funny.
- geekee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Not so on http://www.ask.com
- mlfoley, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3But Stephen Colbert IS the greatest living American. It only shows that google is finely attuned to culture.
- cglobe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Colbert > Stewart
- Plant11, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6Oh, you couldn't be more correct. Damn.
- JBMafia64, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Norman Borlaug is the greatest American.
- Just1nD, on 10/12/2007, -11/+8demigod.

BURIED AS LAME. - KineticShampoo, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2Jesus christ.
He's funny but this is getting out of hand. Greatest living american my ass. - shayansh, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1I cant believe it, man, the influence he has. He should run for president!
- shellwe, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Yea, now I just need to be able to find out how to pump up results for my websites I do...
- understudy, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Dear Google,
While this type of thing is hilarious sometimes, you've got to admit that it kind of shows that your search engine still needs work. So, instead of launching a thousand BETA services—services that you may or may not continue after a year—how about you focus on Google Search and GMail.

PS: Can you also do something to whittle down 100,000 results to just 1,000 very relevant ones? - lokoluis15, on 10/12/2007, -18/+11"Results 1 - 10 of about 77,500,000 for greatest living american."
It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND! -
