Excerpt from, “The Generation War,” by
David Brooks, The New York Times, 10/12/12:
Vice President Joe Biden, of course, could stand on
Neptune and distract attention away from the sun. He entered the Senate in
1973, back when the old Democratic giants from the New Deal era still roamed
the earth. Every sentimental tone of voice, every ebullient and condescending grin brought you back to the kitchen
tables in working-class Catholic neighborhoods of places like Scranton, Pa.,
Chicago, San Francisco, Providence, R.I., and Philadelphia.
Ebullient: overflowing
with fervor, enthusiasm, or excitement
