Don't Like Your Job? Take a Prozac and Get Over It.

This summed up for me the attitude of the Bush Administration (and campaign) about the job situation in our country:

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.

More after the break...

I wonder how Ms. Sheybani will feel in 14 weeks when she suddenly finds herself without a job?

When she found out she'd been overheard by a reporter, Ms. Sheybani did what anyone does when they've made some derisive remark about someone else--she passed it off as "a joke."

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

Don't know about you, but I don't find her joke particularly funny. Guess that must make me a typical humorless Liberal. No sense of humor, can't take a joke, etc. Oh well, so be it.

Nearly 1.1 million jobs have been lost since Bush took office in January 2001.

Wonder if any of those people find her remark amusing?
