Everyone has phrases they’re in the habit of saying so it’s not like President Joe Biden is unique in that way. But because he’s busy campaigning and having to travel all over, we get the pleasure of hearing his catchphrases in every speech, interview, or, as in the case of his “big boy” press conference last night, his Q&As with reporters. Besides giving everyone the run-around (ie. lying) he sure has us all hooked with his gaffes. It’s like sweet pain, isn’t it? But Jill should be so happy… Joe answered every question! What a big boy.
When he campaigned for the 2020 election, two of his go-to phrases were “Let’s be clear…” and “Here’s the deal…” Actually, he still says both but one he added to the repertoire, and he used it about 3,419 times in the recent debate, is: “The idea that…” Well, just wait, it got way worse in the presser. It lasted about an hour and he must’ve said “Anyway…” at least 638 times. Here’s a montage.
You know what, I’ve got it. His new campaign rally song is the 1994 smash hit from Blues Traveler…
I hope John Popper can monetize the phrase “but anyway” the way Haliey Welch parlayed herself into fortune with just two words, not that Popper needs the money or anything.
