Does Google suck?

Try this search in both http://search.msn.com and http://www.google.com:

who is the vice president of the usa?

Okay, I'll spoil it - MSN returns the (correct) current VP, right at the top, based on their builtin encyclopedia lookup feature.  Google, however, returns some link to Hubert Humphrey as its top link.  Pretty comical actually.  Frankly, I'm not sold on one engine vs the other at this point, but that's pretty lame.

When I search Google for "Vice President" I get the Vice President's web site.

Why would someone do a search like "who is the vice president of the usa?" when you could just search for "Vice President" instead.
