Here's some "compassionate conservatism" fer ya!
An aide to Bush campaign spokesman Terry Holt said, in response to an item that suggested American workers were not satisfied with their low-paying jobs said: "Why don't they get new jobs if they're unhappy...or go on Prozac."

Ahhh...such compassion. It brings tears to my eyes. Truly.

My question is, in light of some new allegations that Bush is on anti-depressants, is he taking the Prozac route rather that "looking for another job?" Perhaps we can help with that in November.

4. The prozac reference makes...
his comments even more compassionate because with Bush in the White House millions of workers cannot afford Prozac. He should be REALLY compassionate and tell American workers to find a cheap way to commit suicide instead. Prozac is too expensive!
