Unhappy Workers Should Take Prozac --Bush Campaigner
Thu Jul 29, 1:50 PM ET Add Politics to My Yahoo!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A campaign worker for President Bush (news - web sites) 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 (news - web sites) 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.

Most of us without a better job don't have health coverage so we can go to the doctor or prescription coverage so we can afford the prozac...
Can you say "out of touch", boys & girls?...I knew that you could...

Marie Antoinette was called Madame Deficit and blamed for the country's financial problems. It is true that she enjoyed a lavish lifestyle; her mother wrote to warn her that "a queen can only degrade herself by this sort of heedless extravagance in difficult times." But Marie Antoinette was not quite as foolish and spoiled as the public believed. It certainly is not true that she said "Let them eat cake" when told that people were starving. As a woman and a foreigner she made a convenient scapegoat for the nation's problems, and it seemed that no slander against her was too wild to be widely believed.
In October Marie Antoinette, now called "the Widow Capet," was tried and, like her husband, convicted of treason and sentenced to be guillotined. On October 16, 1793 she was taken through the streets of Paris in an open cart. She maintained her dignity to the end. On the scaffold she accidentally stepped on the executioner's foot, and her last words were, "Monsieur, I ask your pardon. I did not do it on purpose."

I'm guessing she'll be looking for another job soon. She might be needing a double dosage of Prozac.

"Laissez-les manger le gateau." HHHMMMMMM Isn't Prozac a pharmicutial? Doesn't the industry stand to make a huge profit from the sale of prozac?Isn't prozac quite dangerous to many of it's users? Couldn't she have been a little more sensative and say,Why don't they just smoke a bong full?

Irish,Have you ever heard the story of Robespierre the fanatical leader of the French revolution? He met the same fate with the guillotine a year later.After his reign of "virtue" and his attempt of ridding France of his own political enemies.Before he could be arrested and tried,he loaded a muskette and shot himself just below the rightjaw.But as luck would have it,he survived his suicide attempt.He was arrested and given a piece of cloth to hold his jaw in place and some Cognac for the intense pain. Through the night he waited. At dawn he was summarilly tried an executed. Refrence from old National Geographic I wish I still had.

Irish,
Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre, (May 6, 1758–July 28, 1794), known also to his contemporaries as "the Incorruptible", is one of the best known of the leaders of the French Revolution. He was the leader of the Committee of Public Safety, which oversaw the period of the French Revolution which is commonly known as the Reign of Terror. Politically, although a disciple of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, he became an extreme left-winger, and a capable articulator of these beliefs. He harnessed this talent as a means of rabble-rousing. These are his words of December 3, 1792:
“This is no trial; Louis is not a prisoner at the bar; you are not judges; you are - you cannot but be - statesmen, and the representatives of the nation. You have not to pass sentence for or against a single man, but you have to take a resolution on a question of the public safety, and to decide a question of national foresight. It is with regret that I pronounce, the fatal truth: Louis ought to perish rather than a hundred thousand virtuous citizens; Louis must die, that the country may live.”
Citizen Louis Capet (Louis XVI of France) was guillotined on January 21, 1793.
