MILWAUKEE -- A former alderman and controversial radio talk show host said he's happy the mother of his radio rival is dead.
Michael McGee Sr. made the comments during his radio show on WNOV-AM Thursday morning. Charlie Sykes is a radio talk show host on WTMJ-AM. Sykes' mother, Katherine B. Sykes, died in a house fire Tuesday. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner said Thursday that Sykes died of smoke inhalation.
McGee's words quickly spread on the Internet as bloggers picked up the story. At least one radio host talked about it on his show Thursday afternoon.
McGee and Sykes have been publically battling for years, but even in the world of talk radio, some are saying the comments made are extreme.
"Mother Sykes, she dead. To me it's the vengeance of God. I ain't got no tears. Matter of fact a woman that would have a fool like that deserve whatever is coming her. She raised a sure enough idiot," McGee said on his radio show. "My instincts say Charlie Sykes killed his momma, cuz she live out in this big palace in Mequon all isolated. He got tired of waiting for her money."
McGee's comments came about 15 minutes into his show. He went on for about five minutes and then moved on to a different topic, but later in the show a caller asked about it.
"Mike McGee Senior," the caller began, "You really don't mean that, about your enemies families members being dead -- killed."
"Man, you don't think I mean that, man, you out of your mind," McGee replied.
WISN 12 News tried to contact McGee, management from WNOV-AM, and Charlie Sykes' radio station, WTMJ-AM, for comment, but no one returned the station's calls or messages.
An employee at WNOV-AM said they've received a lot of phone calls about McGee's comments and that most listeners are not happy about what was said.
McGee was previously suspended by WNOV-AM in 2004 after using an expletive on the air.

When I listened to the audio of McGee Sr.’s remarks on his radio show I could hardly understand a word he was saying. Besides the eubonics he sounded like he was either stoned or drunk.
He also wrote “A Nation of Victims”, another “must read” for conservatives.
It’s good to know that jsonline.com finally published something about this.
I doubt it will be in the print edition, they’re too afraid of the McGees.
A Nation of Victims
I read that too, he is a very good writer and spot on.
I just checked Drudge tonight and the article is on his site! I sent it to him last night.
But look who they keep voting to represent them. Congress critter Gwen Moore comes to mind, who’s scum bag kid was one of those (along with the acting mayors kid) that slashed the tires of vehicles rented by the GOP for the get out the vote effort in. As far as I know they only got a slap on the hand for that.
