I’ll be all around in the dark. I’ll be everywhere. Wherever you can look—wherever there’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever there’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad. I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready, and when the people are eatin’ the stuff they raise and livin’ in the houses they build, I’ll be there, too.
—- Tom Joad, The Grapes of Wrath
Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr., Esq., of delaware, ends his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, having been caught plagiarizing speeches by Neil Kinnock, leader of the Labor Party of the United Kingdom; de facto senator Robert F. Kennedy, Esq., of new york; and senator Hubert H. Humphrey, of minnesota. In making his concession speech, Biden plagiarizes the Tom Joad, a character from The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck: ”There’ll be other presidential campaigns, and I`ll be there out front. I’ll be there. There will be other opportunities, there`ll be other battles in other places, other times, and I`ll be there. And I’ll be there,”
NOTE: As an attorneys (Officers of the Court) Biden and Kennedy were ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
