[enough]

1. A one-horse pony? Gotta love it. NT

[Cha]

10. LOL.. it has me laughing! ROFL!

[Skittles]

16. I am curious how that is funny

it's....not correct

[Greg K]

19. It's like a Yogi Berra malapropism. Just funny.

[Hekate]

39. Exactly so

My ex-husband had a malaprop way with words. Instead of saying “Take it with a grain of salt,” he’d say, “Take it with a dose of salts.” A dose of salts is a laxative, but that’s (probably) not what he meant.

But it was funny.

[hotdamn00]

42. Ha! My boss could mangle a phrase, too.

He'd say "no bars held" instead of "no holds barred".

[RVN VET71]

29. It's funny because, though slightly off, it shoots down a Fox fool

who probably left wondering what Biden meant. And anytime you can slam a fool like Doocy is a good time.

At least that's why I laughed . . .a little, but laughed.

[Captain Zero]

48. Good own for a One Doocey Channel

Nt

[SCantiGOP]

32. It should be

A one-trick pony

[Tanuki]

35. I think it's a portmanteau. Doocy's a one-trick pony in a one-horse town!

[dchill]

47. Okay, THAT'S funny!

[Skittles]

43. yes

and......mixing it up is not funny, it's rightwing feed

[enough]

54. Being the same age as Joe Biden, I found it delightfully funny exactly because it's

out of whack and brings back so many archaic phrases. It’s meaningless but somehow completely right. Think of the infinite ways the phrase “one horse pony” could be interpreted! We can’t spend our lives worrying about how the other side will pounce on any given thing. They’re always going to do that no matter what happens and no matter what Joe says.

[Budi]

2. Bwaaahaaahaa! Humiliated that Doocy in less than 6 seconds.

And with style.

[madaboutharry]

3. I wonder if he said it that way on purpose.

The phrase is "one trick pony." I wonder if Biden really thought about calling Doocy "a horses' ass" and mixed up the phrases. He cracked me up.

[ProfessorGAC]

5. That's A Good Catch!

"You're a horse's ass". Morphed to pony, mid-sentence.
Now, was it a gaffe or exemplary diplomacy & presidential demeanor?
Keeps them guessing!

[certainot]

26. they can't really use this to suggest he's too old, and they're always looking for those

[ProfessorGAC]

51. That's The Beauty!

Our pushback (not Joe's, he keeps his hands clean) is that he really was going to call him a horse's ass, but thought better of it.
There's no real argument. It's flipping their "you believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want."
Will drive them nuts.

[Rebl2]

31. I thought

It was one horse pony too.

[onetexan]

49. Works for me. Doocy's Doozy deserved a beatdown

And Joe delivered

[lame54]

4. A lyin' dog face pony soldier

[Cha]

12. LOL

[Bongo Prophet]

6. Ah, I had to look it up. I've heard of "one-trick pony" and that is apt.

That's being generous compared to how I describe the Doocy.

[gratuitous]

7. Doocy's response: "Did he say I'm getting a pony?"

Ah, little Stevie's going to be a sad little boy come Friday morning.

[MrsMatt]

8. You mean little Petey

because that was Steve Doocy's son.

[gratuitous]

9. An honest mistake

They all look and sound the same to me.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. LOL Biden is like that. He doesn't suffer fools, and his replies are blunt. Recall Paul Ryan

Biden would listen to Ryan, and Ryan thought he was making great points, and then Biden would realize the nonsense of what Ryan said and laugh at him like the very concept was ridiculous.

Doocy is labeled now by the quick wit of Joe Biden.

[My Pet Orangutan]

13. "You're a one-horse pony"

Add that to my list of favorite Bidenisms

[Zorro]

14. "You're a one-horse's ass phony"

That's probably what he was thinking.

[My Pet Orangutan]

17. I think one horse pony is worthy of Yogi Berra.

It has all sorts of connotations

[ancianita]

18. ...

[onetexan]

27. Exactly -a horse's ass

[Roland99]

15. Did he mean "one-trick pony" or is this a phrase of which I'm not familiar?

[My Pet Orangutan]

20. A mix of one trick pony, and horse's ass phony.

It's going down in my book of favorite Bidenisms

[Kitchari]

24. LOL

Thank you for the excellent interpretation

[Greg K]

21. Yes.

[lillypaddle]

22. Who knows

but I like it the way he said it.

[pansypoo53219]

23. forgot benghazi or e-mails.

[Fiendish Thingy]

25. He should have called him a lying dog-faced pony soldier...nt

[NBachers]

28. There's one horse town; a one-trick pony; he owes no-one an explanation. It works.

He let him know he’s a one-track fool.

Done

[TygrBright]

30. Seems strangely descriptive....! n/t

[nuxvomica]

33. "God love ya" is Mid-Atlantic for the Southern "Bless your heart"

[samnsara]

37. yeah it took me awhile to realize bless your heart wasnt a compliment!

[mcar]

52. I'm from Scranton but have lived in FL for 30 years

You are 100% correct.

[BlueLucy]

34. I think it's Biden's way of cussing but not cussing...

Or a decent man's way of foul language.

I laughed so hard. I love it!

[samnsara]

38. its like malarky!

[bucolic_frolic]

40. You mean like what he really meant was

"you got shit for brains!"? Cause that's about what I'm hearing from it.

[Mr. Ected]

36. Using my trusty PF Flyers decoder ring, Joe actually said:

You're a lying asshole and people are dead because of you, you Trump-humping asskisser.

Let's pull the curtain up on YOUR son, Steve. Peter's his name, right? Ready for him to be the subject of a misinformation campaign?

[getagrip_already]

41. Ridicule is a much more effective tool than lies and anger.......

It's refreshing to hear wit, even mis-spoken, take down a clown asking a dumb or irresponsible question.

All trumps fools had was either lying or storming out, usually both. Though sometimes they would attempt to insult a reporter in a very dumb way, only to have it backfire.

[Joinfortmill]

44. Joe has a very 😎 cool way of dismissing these jerks

[Lock him up.]

45. K&R

To the douche who would never ask Drumpf about "actually-under-investigation-and-waiting-for-a-preemptive-pardon" Ivanka...

[Hekate]

46. I hope this becomes as famous as "All you've got is a noun, a verb, and 9-11! "

Thank you, Joe, for laughing at this fool.

[peggysue2]

50. Hahahaha!

I guarantee you. The one-horse pony quip will go down in history as a way to make a fool button his/her lip.

Gotta love Biden's style. You act/sound like a repetitive dope? He laughs (in a good-humored manner) right in your face. No sneers. No malicious digs. Just laughter.

[TomSlick]

53. To quote Paul Simon:

He's a one-trick pony.
One trick is all that horse can do.
He does, one trick only.
It's the principal source of his revenue.
But when he steps into the spotlight,
you can feel the heat of his heart
come rising through.

See how he dances.
See how he loops from side to side.
See how he prances.
The way his hooves just seem to glide.
He's just a one-trick pony, that's all he is,
but he turn that trick with pride
