Another Famous Stammerer
From CNN: Joe Biden cites Bertie to discuss his own stutter.
"Biden pointed to the Academy Award-winning movie The King's Speech, which is about England’s King George VI working to manage his stutter, and said he uses the same method depicted in the movie to mark up his own speeches to accommodate his stutter.
“So what I do, if I say, ‘The Democratic presidential town hall is tonight on CNN,’ I’ll say: ‘The presidential town hall, slash, is on CNN tonight, slash, it’s going to have the following people, slash, Anderson Cooper is going to speak, slash,” Biden said.
He said the method forces him to think in terms of not rushing.
