Completely Wrong' Search in Google Returns Romney Pics -- But What Happens With 'One-Term Proposition'?

Google is well known for its technological Easter eggs ("do a barrel roll," anyone?) but one quirk can't have the Romney campaign smiling.

A Google image search for the phrase "completely wrong" turns up a page full of photos of the Republican presidential nominee, apparently stemming from his comment last week disavowing his "47 percent" remark.

“Clearly in a campaign, with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question-and-answer sessions, now and then you‘re going to say something that doesn’t come out right,” Romney told Fox News' Sean Hannity. “In this case, I said something that’s just completely wrong.”

A Google spokesman told CNN and Slate the photos were an unintentional result of normal Google search terms and not a "Google bomb." The Romney campaign declined to comment.

As PC Mag noted, former President George W. Bush was the victim of a Google bomb in 2004 when his biography page turned up under a search for "miserable failure."

For what it's worth, an image search for the phrase "one-term proposition" returns photos of President Barack Obama, referring to his famous declaration if the economy didn't turn around.
