Ted Olson can't google
AP reports:
The Bush administration's top Supreme Court lawyer says he typed the words "free porn" into an Internet search engine on his home computer and got a list of more than 6 million Web sites. That's proof, Solicitor General Theodore Olson told the Supreme Court on Tuesday, of the need for a law protecting children from a tide of online smut.
Well, Google reports a mere 2.9 million hits to "free porn" (with quotes) and 6.8 million to the two words without quotes. Clearly Olson either opted for the wider search or doesn't understand the difference.
Note: "Free" by itself gives 21 million hits and "porn" gives 12 million or so. I'm a bit surprised, though. I would have thought "free" would get more....
p.s. I wonder if any of the justices asked Olson how many of those sites actually
were free.
