Dissin' the Dead: Major Karma Hit

In Milwaukee this week, 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 earlier in the week. According to the Ozaukee County coroner, Mrs. Sykes died of smoke inhalation.

According a transcript on the website of local TV station WISN, the comments went as follows:
"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."
When a caller later asked on-air if he meant it, McGee responded, "Man, you don't think I mean that, man, you out of your mind."
