He's actually doing an impression of FDR. mostly just cause The Penguin was written as a dirty politician. Burgess didn't think FDR was dirty, Burgess was actually a life long democrat. But FDR was one of the most famous presidents in recent memory. So thats why he chose him to parody.

INDb states 'Burgess Meredith had given up smoking some twenty-odd years earlier, but his character was required to smoke with a cigarette holder. The smoke would get caught in his throat and he would start coughing. Rather than constantly ruin takes in this matter, he developed the laugh to cover it up'. What a great character Penguin was, all down to Mr Meredith's (RIP) fine acting skills.
