Speech impediments include stammer, lisp, and so on.

In Canada's political system, the position of the Leader of the Official Opposition is marvelous, I think.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leader_of_the_Official_Opposition_(Canada).
Quote:

The Leader of the Opposition is entitled to the same levels of pay and protection as a Cabinet minister. He or she is entitled to reside at the official residence of Stornoway and ranks fourteenth on the Order of Precedence, after Cabinet ministers and before lieutenant governors of the provinces.

What a figure David Ogilvy is! And how he looks like an old-era English gentleman.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ogilvy_(businessman).

By the way, Mr. Ogilvy (pronunciation: /'oɡəlvi/) is not to be confused with the Ogilvy's department store in Montreal. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogilvy_(department_store).
