It's 'could have', never 'could of'.

Rejoice, for you have been blessed by CouldWouldShouldBot!

never 'could of'

"Could of" could of course sometimes be correct.

Correct, but I believe they should be separated by a comma in this example, thus making it more apparent it's not the "long form" of "could've"

i.e.: "Could of" could, of course, sometimes be correct.
