Bush campaign: Unhappy Workers Should Take Prozac

Thursday, July 29th, 2004

It’s nice to know what they really think. Saw this at the Reuter’s site:

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 jobquality, and who overheard the remark.

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

I love this line by Shields and the comment on it by Matthew.

Mark Shields, via David Gergen: “During the Bush years we’ve created more gay marriages than manufacturing jobs.”

When will conservatives stop pushing their leftwing social agenda and start looking out for the working class?
