I pretty sure that isn't amusing, especially in the context of this post, unless you're saying he does it purposely to be funny?!?!?!
Mel Tillis made a singing/movie career out of making people laugh "with him" through exaggerating his impediment(I don't know how those who are thusly afflicted feel about even this), but if your saying it's funny because he's this big, tough guy who can't speak clearly....
I hope I read this wrong. If I did I'll remove this post, if not maybe.....

"The Martyr" (excerpt)
There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand:
Beware the People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
--Herman Melville (written after the assasination of President Abraham Lincoln)
