ARTICLE UPDATE; NEWS FLASH
This just in from the AP 8:00 PM 5/7/09
CHICAGO - Drew Peterson, a former Illinois police sergeant suspected in the disappearance of his fourth wife, on Thursday was indicted on a murder charge in the death of his third wife. Peterson, 55, was taken into custody Thursday evening by state police who stopped his car. A warrant accuses him of murdering Kathleen Savio. Savio's body was found in a bathtub on March 1, 2004. Her death was initially ruled an accidental drowning. Authorities have said Peterson is also a suspect in the October 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy. After Stacy Peterson's disappearance, Savio's body was exhumed and underwent forensic examination.
That's right folks. According to the AP, Drew Peterson is considering an offer from HBO to appear on their adult series "Cathouse." "Cathouse" is a reality program about a legal brothel called the Bunny Ranch located just outside Reno Nevada. Peterson would appear as an employee of the brothel. Exactly what his job would be was not revealed.
For those of you who have been visiting another planet. Drew Peterson is an ex-cop from Chicago under investigation for the disappearance of his latest wife. And is also being scrutinized concerning the suspicious death of a former wife. So far Peterson has not been charged in the case, but police still consider him a suspect.
The bizarre thing about this story is how Peterson has behaved. Instead of appearing sad or even stoic over his wife's disappearance, Drew Peterson apparently saw the attention from the national media as an opportunity to make a grab for fame and fortune. Claiming his latest wife ran away with a new boy friend, Peterson immediately hired a publicist and has jumped on every opportunity to mug for the cameras he gets. Not exactly what you'd expect from a grieving husband whether she ran away or not.
I personally am incensed every time I see his smug, ugly face on TV. And these young women he seems to be able to woo really have me shaking my head. This guy is old.... and ugly. What any good looking young lady would want with this creep confounds the hell out of me.
And now HBO wants to cash in on this disgusting piece of human excrement? I understand it's the idea of the old, ugly, bald guy that owns the Bunny Ranch which doesn't surprise me because my opinion of that guy is barely a step above my opinion of Peterson.
So, if you agree that giving this suspected wife murderer the fame and fortune he seems to think he is entitled to is obscene and about as wrong as anything can get, then use the link I've provided to let HBO know of your displeasure. It doesn't matter if you watch "Cathouse" or not. HBO needs to be informed that allowing disgusting creeps like Drew Peterson to exploit their infamy for personal gain is unacceptable.

Fortunately, I do not subscribe to any cable premium channels.
That was true of our ex-leader GW. I do not believe it is true of Obama.
My take on the women Peterson is able to woo: They want their 15 minutes of fame, too; even if it's by proxy.
Peterson is arrogant, just like Obama. Peterson got away with murder(s) and Obama is a usurper.
Your comparing our new President to Drew Peterson? Well, that pretty much relegates you to the ranks of Right Wing Nut Bag doesn't it. I guess you believe GW ordered the 911 attacks too. Or maybe you've bought into that "Manned moon landings were a hoax" stuff.
Come on Linda... grow up!!!!!
Another reason why we only have the basic $10 cable service at our house. Turn off the TV folks. Stop buying this stuff.
That's the point of this article. If this guy is innocent, then why does he keep behaving as though he's guilty? If my wife came up missing and was never found, I doubt I'd be capable of smiling for a very long time.
LOCKPORT, Ill. - Drew Peterson, the brash, mustachioed former police sergeant who found tabloid fame after his fourth wife's disappearance more than 1 1/2 years ago, was indicted Thursday in the drowning of an ex-wife found dead in an empty bathtub in 2004.
Peterson, charged with first-degree murder in the death of Kathleen Savio, was arrested during an evening traffic stop near his Bolingbrook home and was being held on $20 million bond, Illinois State Police Captain Carl Dobrich said.
Pay attention to things that matter. Your hissy fits were designed.
Get an idea. Do you really feel strung? Do you really think that the stories that actually matter don't matter because you are shallow as swamp skimmings? Disgusting!
Dorian,
Did you leave the aluminum foil hat on just a wee bit too long this morning?
If you truly feel that way, why did you click on this article? And why are you so insulting and vulgar?
I guess some people just naturally think of themselves as the arbitor of good taste and decency. *chuckle*
