Democratic Politicans Narrate 'Moby Dick'

Joe Biden

Call me Mighty Joe. I’ve been a whaler for sixty-five years, and I’ve worked on more ships than I can count…The Pequod…The Seaweed… The Santa Maria… I forget their names, but the point is, I’ve been doin’ this a long time, and I got the experience and the know-how to take on this Moby Dick thingamajig that everyone’s talkin’ about. My dad was one of the best whalers there was. He said to me: “Son, it’s not about how many times you get knocked overboard. It’s about whether you got what it takes to pull yourself up from the water an’ climb back on deck.” That’s what I’ve been doing for sixty-five years . . .
