Joe Scarborough's morning-show banter turned mysterious Wednesday when he appeared to link the media fallout after the Tucson shooting to Keith Olbermann's exit from MSNBC. Wayne Barrett on the possible connection.

Joe Scarborough made an odd comment on Wednesday morning about the Tucson shooting that got me thinking.

Gabriel Sherman was the guest. His recent New York magazine cover on Roger Ailes has provoked a lot of talk. Mika Brzezinski steered the conversation to Tucson. Sherman wrote that it was "a turning point" for Ailes and that Ailes "told all of our guys, 'Shut up, tone it down, make your arguments intellectually'" after the rampage, which some said was tied to the red-hot level of public debate. Brzezinski and Sherman simultaneously used the word "civility" as the Ailes-approved outcome of the tragedy.

A defiant Gov. Paterson praised the Lord - and himself - Sunday, vowing at a Brooklyn church that he will serve out his term as governor.

"My determination is to run this state," Paterson told congregants at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Bedford-Stuyvesant in his most forceful comments since the scandals erupted.

"I will keep governing till the end of the year," he promised. "I will not be daunted or distracted by any voices."

For the embattled Paterson, who has faced increasing calls that he resign over his role in a bevy of mushrooming scandals, it was a fire-and-brimstone performance on a day that saw his few remaining friends trying to circle the wagons.

An increasingly beleaguered Paterson scrambled yesterday to pick up the pieces of his political world as it crumbled around him.

"For the last couple of weeks I have been the subject of what, even by Albany standards, has been a spate of outrageous rumors about me," Paterson told The Associated Press.
