_________
The word logorrhea has appeared in one article on NYTimes.com in the past year, on Jan. 13 in the Opinion essay “Run, Joe, Run” by David Leonhardt:
Let me repeat: My argument is not that Biden will be the best candidate. I don’t agree with his reported view that he alone among the Democrats can beat Trump. And he has real weaknesses, like the logorrhea that afflicts many longtime senators. I once attended a White House session during which I wasn’t sure if he would ever stop talking. If he runs, I hope he is smart and humble enough to insist on honest criticism from his advisers.
