Yesterday morning on Today they did yet another segment on Drew Peterson, the ex-police sergeant whose wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared on October 28, 2007. This time it was about how he wants to start dating again.
Say what?
Not that this should be surprising. His actions ever since her disappearance have been anything except normal. But of them all, this one disgusted me the most.
I guess he made some dumb comment about how he’ll never get a date again. In addition to wanting to say as sarcastically as possible, “Poor baby,” I also have the overwhelming desire to hop a flight to Chi Town and shake this man as I yell, “Are you a freaking moron? Show some sensitivity, you heartless freak! Forget the fact she’s your wife and she’s missing, think about your two children who have no mother now. What the heck are you doing even thinking about dating again?”
Oh, but I forgot. Him and his lawyer are bound and determined to deem her not as “missing” but as having “abandoned her family.”
Yeah, right. And his third wife truly did die in a freak bathtub drowning accident. (Even though there’s no evidence to prove otherwise, I’m convinced he killed her too. And that because he got away with it he figured he could do it again. So far it seems he has.)
So now he’s upset because all this media attention may hurt his chances of finding lucky lady number five.
And the reason he made the news yesterday was because he called into a Chicago radio talk show host to propose a “Win a Date with Drew” contest. Apparently the host, Steve Dahl, has been picking on poor Mr. Peterson and Peterson and his lawyer wanted to shut him up. (Again, “Poor baby” and “Suck it up, you spotlight seeking lying sack of BLEEP!” comes to mind…)
The contest is a no go. Thankfully someone showed some sensitivity in this matter. Mr. Peterson sure doesn’t get that concept. It’s all a big joke to him.
All I can say is, he is the shadiest, most disgusting, vile sort of man imaginable and the front-runner for worst husband ever.
