Good Lord! Here is a name -- and a stunt -- that takes me back to my teenage years in the Chicago area. Steve Dahl, the granddaddy of shock jocks, has arranged a contest for some lucky(?) woman to win a date with Drew Peterson.

His fourth wife has only been missing three months, but Drew Peterson appears ready to plunge back into the dating pool.

“Win a Date with Drew Peterson” is scheduled to air at 8 a.m. Thursday on Steve Dahl’s morning show on WJMK-FM (104.3). Peterson agreed to the stunt when he appeared with his attorney on the show this morning.

Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, told Dahl his only caveat with the date was “no three-way stuff.” Dahl said he would likely send a chaperone on the day “just to be on the safe side,” before adding, “I’m kidding.”

PetersonÂ’s fourth wife Stacy vanished on Oct. 28 from the coupleÂ’s Bolingbrook home. Drew Peterson said the mother of two young children left with another man. Police have called her disappearance a possible homicide investigation and labeled Drew Peterson a potential suspect.

Drew PetersonÂ’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in a bathtub at her home after the couple separated. Police are reinvestigating her death in the wake of Stacy PetersonÂ’s disappearance.

It's sick.

It's tasteless.

It's classic Steve Dahl!

After all, this is the guy whose obituary will begin "Dahl, a longtime mainstay of Chicago broadcasting, is best remembered for causing the Chicago White Sox to forfeit a game due to a riot cause by his 'Disco Demolition Night'." Setting up a date with someone who probably has killed two wives is right up his alley. I'm just surprised that Peterson's attorney went for it -- after all, it won't look good to the jury in either murder trial.
