Unhappy Workers Should Take Prozac --Bush Campaigner


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A campaign worker for President Bush said on Thursday American workers unhappy with low-quality jobs should find new ones -- or pop a Prozac to make themselves feel better.

"Why don't they get new jobs if they're unhappy -- or go on Prozac?" said Susan Sheybani, an assistant to Bush campaign spokesman Terry Holt.

The comment was apparently directed to a colleague who was transferring a phone call from a reporter asking about job quality, and who overheard the remark.

When told the Prozac comment had been overheard, Sheybani said: "Oh, I was just kidding."

While recent employment growth has buoyed Bush's economic record, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has argued the new jobs are not as good as those lost due to outsourcing in recent years.

Nearly 1.1 million jobs have been lost since Bush took office in January 2001.


-> Hey, it's working for him :

And you know that's what the GOP really thinks -- either just "get a new job!!!" (as in, Fuck You), or give more money to our big donors, so they can pay us to make the laws in our favor.

Besides, a drugged populace is a complacent populace: happy to watch American Idol and pay GAP $60 to make you a pair of jeans in Indonesia for a buck eighty.

4. I seriously doubt
that anyone makes a $1.80 to make 1 pair of jeans.

There just isn't that much labor involved. My guess is more like
twenty five cents.

Just sayin.

2. I think Laura Bush is a paxil-bot....
.... she's got demons, that's for sure - killed her boyfriend when she was 17, slept with evil incarnate for 30 years.
