J. Michael Luttig, speaking

Retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig has explained why he spoke so slowly at Thursday’s hearing of the January 6 committee.

Watching the hearing, I immediately got my snark on and made a ill-considered post associating Luttig with the Bob and Ray character Harlow P. Whitcomb. When it occurred to me — not long after — that someone might be speaking exceedingly slowly for any number of reasons, I reconsidered my snark and deleted.

It turns out that there’s no health-related or neurological reason for Luttig’s slow speaking. Read his account: it might surprise you.

I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who immediately went to Bob & Ray. I knew and appreciated that his honor was being thoughtful, but it was hard not to think of the S...T...O...A.

For anyone who knows Bob and



his comedic talents.
