Georgebush.com Not Viewable from UK?

Posted on October 27, 2004 by Michael Froomkin

Here's what I get when I try to access www.georgebush.com from London:

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access “http://www.georgewbush.com/” on this server.

And it's not just me, as you can see from a comment in this thread at Electrolite. Oh, and others have noticed this too, all around the world.

Could it be connected to this ?

    Hmm…still working here in the States. Seems to me this would suggest a foreign DOS attack was most likely the root of the problem…or, not to be a cynic, but maybe they just don’t have the bandwidth they oughta, and they feel like blaming Democrats for it…but it seems like you and everyone else are getting 403’s, not 404’s. As in this is an intentional cutoff of non US readers of the site…

    I been having the same problems here in Finland I am over here for work this past month and will be here another month and I am from the states, and all the GeorgeBush url or any thing that has his name in it is blocked but you can get to the John Kerry sites with no problems… sounds like someone does not want us to get to the sites we want to get to. It still not changing my vote for George Bush.
