According to themilwaukeechannel.com: "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...

McGee and Sykes have been publicly battling for years, but even in the world of talk radio, some are saying the comments made are extreme."

My Take on this Turkey: Note to fellow broadcasters: it's one thing to take on your competition. He or she is a public figure. It's another to drag their un-public family into it.
