The Campaign In the USA

Aug 1 / 2004

A campaign worker for President Bush said that workers unhappy with low-quality jobs (which is approximately 95% of Americans who have to eke out a living by working two of them) should find new ones — or pop a Prozac to make themselves feel better.

“Why don’t they get new jobs if they’re unhappy? There are plenty of CEO positions available. I’m sure Martha Stewart is in need of a personal assistant or two with some prison experience. Or better yet, why don’t these whining scum-buckets do what everyone else is doing and go on Prozac?” said Susan Sheybani, a prime example of the new “Compassionate Conservative” and an assistant to Bush campaign spokesman Terry (Leave Me Out Of It) Holt.

The comment was apparently directed to a weeping minimum-wage earning, 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... But off the record –- I was completely serious. In fact, maybe these losers should consider lobotomies. I think that makes more sense, given that most Americans can’t afford a comprehensive drug plan.”
