Bloomberg On JFK Plot: 'Stop Worrying, Get A Life'

Marcia Kramer

(CBS) NEW YORK While questions continue to arise about the alleged plot to blow up a fuel pipeline beneath JFK Airport and surrounding neighborhoods, some are questioning why New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg hasn't had a louder voice since the plot was foiled on Saturday.

On Monday, Bloomberg finally weighed in, but his response was not what some would have expected.

"There are lots of threats to you in the world. There's the threat of a heart attack for genetic reasons. You can't sit there and worry about everything. Get a life," he said.

That "What, me worry?" attitude pretty much sums up Bloomberg's advice to New Yorkers on the terror plot. As far as he was concerned, the professionals were on it, so New Yorkers shouldn't let it tax their brains.

"You have a much greater danger of being hit by lightning than being struck by a terrorist," he added.

3. He seems a lot more rational than most politicians...

...from both sides. He doesn't seem to be moved as much by his emotions, but more by reasoning things out, which I totally respect. Even if your reasoning brings you to a different conclusion, its still nice to see politicians using it sometimes.... and not just "you're either with us or against us" grr

And Gov. Tim Kaine says, "right back atcha, Bloomers". Ignorant putz.
