LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joe Biden has been fighting a stutter since childhood, and he said Friday he has no regrets about talking openly about it after one of his responses in Thursday’s presidential debate prompted a mocking tweet from former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

Joe Biden is more of a hands on guy - not really a talker. More a doer.

Yeah - his hands are always fumbling too, though.

I didn’t even realize he stuttered. He’s too busy saying STOOPID THINGS to pay attention to his delivery.

Talkin’ Bout My Generation— the Who (1965)

A few lines from origin of stutter in song (Wikipedia excerpts
Townshend reportedly wrote the song on a train and is said to have been inspired by the Queen Mother, who is alleged to have had Townshend’s 1935 Packard hearse towed off a street in Belgravia because she was offended by the sight of it during her daily drive through the neighborhood.

Daltrey’s delivery— an angry and frustrated stutter. Various stories exist as to the reason... One is that the song began as a slow talking blues number without the stutter but after being inspired by John Lee Hooker’s “Stuttering Blues,” Townshend reworked the song.... It is also proposed, albeit less frequently, that the stutter was introduced to give the group a framework for implying an expletive in the lyrics: “Why don’t you all fff ... fade away!”

Roger Daltrey has also commented that he had not rehearsed the song prior to the recording, was nervous, and he was unable to hear his own voice through the monitors. The stutter came about as he tried to fit the lyrics to the music as best he could, and the band decided it worked well enough to keep.

The BBC initially refused to play “My Generation” because it did not want to offend people who stutter, but it reversed its decision after the song became more popular.

Biden has been in the public eye for more than 25 years, and I never once heard mention of - or noticed - a stuttering problem until Sarah Sanders made her Tweet the other day.

Uttering unintelligible inanities is not stuttering.

Joe Biden 2018: so I told those Ukranians, you got six hours to fire that prosecutor who is investigating my son or I’m gonna cancel your foreign aid. And the Ukranians were like, “What??” And I was like “did I F##king stutter? You fire him or I’m gonna cancel your foreign f##king aid. You got six hours”

Joe Biden 2019: I used to stutter, I’m not ashamed to talk about it, but there’s no reason to talk about it, or any time it may have come up in foreign policy discussions.

I have to wonder if he ever really stuttered or if he is just using this as a cover for the inane, disjointed ramblings he's been spewing on the campaign trail.

Because apart from the stutter, half the time he doesn't seem to know what planet he is on.
