George Will excoriates the Democrats today as the party of condescension in “Democrats vs. Wal-Mart”:

When liberals' presidential nominees consistently fail to carry Kansas, liberals do not rush to read a book titled "What's the Matter With Liberals' Nominees?" No, the book they turned into a bestseller is titled "What's the Matter With Kansas?" Notice a pattern here?

As Will reminds us, Wal-Mart has been “the most prodigious job-creator in the history of the private sector in this galaxy,” has accounted for 13% of all productivity gains in the latter part of the 1990s, and draws in over a hundred-million shoppers a week saving a cumulative $200 billion a year.

Those poor, poor, duped Americans.
