CHICAGO – Drew Peterson cracked jokes live from jail on Wednesday on a Chicago radio show that he called collect. The former Bolingbrook police officer, charged in his third wife's death, offered snippets of a comedy routine on WLS-AM Radio's "Mancow & Cassidy" show.

"$20 million bond. Legal fees: tens of thousands. Being falsely accused of a homicide that didn't happen: priceless," Peterson said in a spoof of a MasterCard commercial.

Peterson, who once proposed a "Win a Date With Drew" contest, offered a jail version called "Win a Conjugal Visit with Drew." He also joked about prison showers, his legal fees and his "bling" handcuffs, saying humor is how he deals with stress.

During the nearly 7-minute phone call, Peterson tried out a few crude one-liners.

"I didn't understand why they had seat belts on the toilet until after I had a couple of meals here," he said while the hosts played a drum-roll effect.

He also said he misses his children and has prayed and read the Bible during his imprisonment.

Peterson is charged with first-degree murder in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He is also a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.

He denies wrongdoing.

WTF???

This scum-bag is in jail awaiting trial for murdering his wife, and they let him call radio talk-shows and yak and joke for 7 minutes???

Isn't jail supposed to be a PUNISHMENT and a removal from all the pleasures of life???



Sheesh...

Someone just doesn't know when to stop...

Oh and of course he pulled that praying and reading the Bible stuff.

Tell me, when did this "praying and reading my Bible" in jail start in the USA? Bush? Reagan? Before that?

As I said today on discussion here, the minute someone starts mentioning their religiousity in a criminal case, my Maybe They Are Guilty meter starts going through the roof!
