Apparently, Richard doesn’t feel like backing up his article with any facts.

Oh, except that Palin was wearing a biker helmet and he thinks that looks silly. No nod to the fact that liberal nanny-state policies make it a necessity for ANYONE riding a motorcycle to wear one...

Actually he doesn't. He is incapable of processing what looks silly. (He just thinks Palin is silly in general, and Dukakis wasn't)

Michael Dukakis was ridiculed by rags like the Herald for a photo op showing him wearing an army tank commander's helmet -ha, ha, ha!

It wasn't Dukakis wearing the helmet. It was that he looked wrong, out-of-place with the goofy grin.

To pull of that look and appear as if you belong there requires a politician to have, dare I say, gravitas
