When Keith Olbermann promised to temporarily discontinue his “World’s Worsts” segment, many of his biggest fans (and cable news die-hards in general) lamented the segment’s passing. It wasn’t the segment, it was the way he had made use of it lately, many contended, that caused it to lose its luster. Now that it’s back in some form or another, Olbermann seems to have taken the advice to bring back old-school worsts to heart, giving the title to beloved target George W. Bush.

After yesterday’s intimate pre-recorded interview with Matt Lauer on Today, Karl Rove stopped by the studio to talk to the host live about three of the most controversial issues of the Bush administration: the invasion of Iraq, the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, and the Valerie Plame CIA leak scandal. Unlike yesterday, this Rove showed no signs of remorse or vulnerability, and stuck to his points against an increasingly combative Lauer.
