No one seemed too surprised when the famously reclusive former Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan made it all the way through his arraignment Wednesday on federal racketeering charges without saying a single word.
His indictment isn’t much different. Madigan is certainly quoted deep within the 106-page bombshell document, but his comments won’t exactly go down in Chicago corruption history like Ald. Edward M. Burke’s: “did we land . . . the tuna?”
