Google and Yahoo Block Hutchison Site from Search Results

Use of disallowed tactic indicative of senator’s desperation

Web watchers today discovered that a Web site owned and operated by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has been blocked from the world’s two largest search engines for violating their policies on using hidden text.

“It is reassuring that Google and Yahoo had the sense to ban Sen. Hutchison’s attempt at more anonymous dirty tricks and under-handed black hat tactics. This is remarkable third-party validation that Sen. Hutchison is taking the low road in a campaign that should be about the issues. We look forward to the senator breaking her embarrassed silence with an apology to Gov. Perry,” said Perry spokesman Mark Miner.

The Web site blunder is the latest in a string of mis-steps by a campaign that observers agree is clearly in disarray.
