Eight Lives Left

Scott Montgomery is a name some of you might recognize, if you used to read this journal back when it was on Diary-X years and years ago. He was my ex-boyfriend’s best friend, and he moved up to COS with me and J when we left Dallas.

I remember in particular the one that mocked me for having a hysterectomy in 2002, and telling me it was what I deserved and that he’d have a happy perfect life in the mountains with his family.

This guy is a sports correspondent for Fox News and the Kansas City Star. My jaw dropped when I read what he had written, and I can only wonder how much hate mail he’s receiving now for taking this point of view about the recent shooting and killing of Sean Taylor (who played for the Washingon Redskins). I have to admit I agree with him on some of it. He puts it pretty starkly, though, so I’m not surprised people are pissed off. Read the article here.
