Hello everybody!
This case was explained by Marissa Mayer, Director of Consumer Web Products:

| 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. |
And the same thing with David Irving: Google's results for this query (like this - David Irving), you'll get something like this:

Emphasized words never appear on David Irving's site - neither in displayable content, nor in metacontent, scripts and hidden blocks. Possibly Google just generates a brief site description from the links pointing to the site (Link description). Or maybe not, who knows...
