Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden did something simultaneously clever and stupid recently in full view of TV cameras. He went bicycle riding with his wife, Jill, at Rehoboth Beach, Del., with no helmet.
Smart because it’s basically impossible for a 77-year-old man to look like anything but a total dork in a helmet — summoning for geezer Democrats the image of Michael Dukakis riding in a tank, the photo op blunder that may have settled the 1988 presidential election.
