"I do think that the quality which makes a man want to write and be read is essentially a desire for self-exposure and is masochistic. Like one of those guys who has a compulsion to take his thing out and show it on the street." - James Jones
The Verdict On Imus? Matthews, Wallace, Crawford Say "I'll Be Back"
We told you yesterday that we're going to ask some previous D.C.-based Imus guests whether they would re-appear on his show when it resurfaces.
So we reached out to any D.C. types listed on this MediaMatters roundup of 2007 guests on Don Imus' show.
Howard Fineman: "The company policy is to stick with the decision of last spring, which is that no Newsweek staffer can do the show."
Craig Crawford: "YES"
Chris Wallace: "Absolutely, I would appear if I am asked. I thought Imus did something wrong--and deserved punishment. But he certainly doesn't deserve a career death penalty. Sometimes he goes over the line--but he has done an emormous amount of good over the years. And I find him a very interesting person to talk with."
Chris Matthews: "Yes, with full appreciation."
Ana Marie Cox: declined to participate.
David Gregory: Not sure yet.
Still waiting to hear from...
