Creep
Saw this link at Drudge’s site:
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 Ozaukee County Coroner said Thursday that Sykes died of smoke inhalation [Read Story].

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.
Here’s McGee’s page at the WNOV site.
If you live in Wisconsin and haven’t weighed in on McGee’s comments yet, let the station know how you feel about them. This is absolutely reprehensible.
I should note that their contact link on their site as of right now just takes you back to ther main page (likely done on purpose this week), but I found the original link here:
