Irish. Some other reasons besides the one you stated: 1. He's a cop. 2. He has (or had) power. 3. He is likely very charming. 4. I am sure that he has claimed his innocence to this woman. 5. She believes him. 6. Perhaps she has low self-esteem. Maybe some "daddy issues". 7. She enjoys the limelight as much as he does. 8. Because maybe she figures that since everyone is watching him closely now, she is likely to stay alive. 9. She likes the porn 'stache. 10. They are in love! *sigh* ------------------------------------------------ In a game of Family Feud, I believe number 6 would be the #1 answer.

I know of a girl who stays with a guy with a history of lying, cheating, stealing, and preying on women (shit, it's on TAPE too...busted by a news crew), and she stays with him. Why? Who knows. But there are a lot of women who, despite DAMNING evidence to the contrary, will stick by their men. Perhaps they're into that whole "reforming a bad boy" thing. "Oh, he'll change for ME!."

"Stupid"? Well played, genius. You sound like Tommy Boy. "No...ur stupid, richard!!". The nuthouse called, Spook. You are due back by 5:00. And bring your hypocrisy with you.

Heeeyyyyyyy Irishman why don't you replace "Irish" with Stupid, as in "Stupidman". Least you reflect poorly upon real Irish Men like James Joyce, Sam Beck, George Shaw, Yeats,Emerson etc. I know this is light years beyond your comprehension, but what you( and too many Americans) consider "humor" feeds our culture of endemic and systematic violence against women and girls. I bet you felt right at home with the other frat boys in the shower, standing in a circle soaping yourselves up into a frantic lather, getting off on base white male stupidity. Yup, right at home, old boy. Matter of fact, I bet before Drew Peterson, got "exposed" publicly for the animal that he is, you probably would have considered him a cool elder "bro" if you encountered him at a bar. Yay, Ye dear olde Yule Tide Spook thinkith that when it comes right down to the matter, Nay a line seperates ye two bros, if you dig my olde English ;-)

UTV said, I don't know why that strikes me as so funny. I just love the phrase "maximum levels of aggression" in the bedroom context. It's like something out of a sex manual that's also a nuclear submarine manual. Interesting analogy, UTV. Because unforunately there are some malajusted, misogynist males who do use sexual behavior as an act of war. And Drew Peterson has already left casualties in his wake in his own personal war on women.

@UTV clearly its a threat level orange. Just like the jumpsuit Drew will be sporting once wife #5 disappears. HA. Well maybe that wasn't as clever as I hoped but I tried. Things like this make me seriously ashamed of my gender. How can you be so stupid? But then maybe this one really is a hooker and they really are getting physical....ggrrroooosssss

"Being good in bed has nothing to do with anatomical size, or maximum levels of aggression." HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHHA I don't know why that strikes me as so funny.

Not to be too crude, but Drew is probably hung like a horse and rips it up in bed. Dude, that's what I always think when some ugly dickwipe with no charisma lands woman after woman after woman.

oh irishman1,.... i now see your problem. It may not be what you read, but your ability to read. There is no contradiction in my post. You still don't get it. Being good in bed has nothing to do with anatomical size, or maximum levels of aggression. And there's a little more to it than thrusting. Perhaps you didn't know that you were doing it all wrong ?

@lola09...Lighten up, Francis. Everyone got the joke except you. Don't look now, lola, but you did contradict yourself. You first said, "REAL WOMEN do not want to have a guy who, "rips it up in bed"." Then you finished it with And there are no shortage of younger, attractive men out there who are great in bed Which is it? Is being "good in bed" something REAL WOMEN want? Or no? Wait a minute! Are you even a woman???

i would speculate that this young woman is either a demented attention seeker, or a very cunning young opportunist who may be seeking her own book deal. .... $$$ Cha-Ching ! $$$ irishman1............i suggest you seek the opinion of real women, rather that relying on the erroneous myths perpetuated in porn. REAL WOMEN do not want to have, "it hung like a horse" or a guy who, "rips it up in bed". And there are no shortage of younger, attractive men out there who are great in bed without having to settle for a finacially ruined, murderous old walrus who's probably dependant on viagra.

I just wish gay marriage were legal here in Illinois. I think Drew and Blago would make a handsome couple.

Isn't there some way that the Blagojevich and Drew Peterson stories can converge? Look at that one line in the story above: Peterson: "How the f--- did this get out?" C'mon, f----? That's classic Blago!

Isn't there some way that the Blagojevich and Drew Peterson stories can converge? A common ex-girlfriend? A payoff to Blago in a Bolingbrook subdivision? An extra deceased wife somewhere? Let's keep the circus in town!

Im sorry, I dont care how hung that guy is, I wouldnt touch him with a ten foot pole. Says something about preying on women with zero self esteem and no confidence (and probably daddy issues as my co-worker pointed out.) I'm in. 7/12/2011. Its going to be a quick one.

Not to be too crude, but Drew is probably hung like a horse and rips it up in bed. What else could it be? He has no money, look at his history and look at that 'stache...what is the appeal that he has on women? The appeal is probably, **cue bass line**, his length and his width.
