You know….I always thought that the Special Comments were the best part of Keith Olbermann’s show….but these “WTF?!?” segments are beginning to challenge that theory. I’ve already posted two of them previously, but the following are just too good to be forgotten, too.

First, KO maligns the great state of Texas and its governor, Bill “Goodhair” Perry, for his recent implications of the joys of secceeding from the Union, as well as the consequences for that “whole other country”:

Somewhere in heaven, Miss Molly (Ivins) is laughing her ass off.

And then, there is this far more personal “WTF”, where KO stomps some gossip columnist who decides to exploit the grief of KO losing his mother for his own personal smear campaign (and boo to Wonkette for its own participation in this farce as well):
