Like Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake." It's just a joke, folks. But like Marie's little gaffe, VERY revealing:

Bush campaigner's Prozac solution
She says unhappy workers should try medication

Updated: 1:54 p.m. ET July 29, 2004

WASHINGTON - A campaign worker for President Bush said 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.”
