"There are a number of things on the issue of the economy as a whole that we must do… and a lot of that work is the work that I am here to do...on the continent," 

 We need another term beside "word salad" though - most people like salads and at worst they're harmless. There is nothing likeable/harmless about a U.S. V.P. who is unable/unwilling to make sense. It's horribly discouraging. Maybe "word-vomit".

It's also similar to the sort of mumbling one commonly sees with nervous crack/cocaine/meth addicts.

Generally I've noticed that since the Eightball Obama administration, democrat party leaders seem to think that by describing things in detail, they somehow appear to be "in charge" of things or "smart".
