Bush campaign: Unhappy Workers Should Take Prozac
Thursday, July 29th, 2004It’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.”
