If The Martians Attack, Rudy Is Ready

Presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani yesterday said preparedness will be key for all crises, even an attack from outer space.Guiliani, grin on his face at a town hall-style meeting, was responding to a young questioner who asked him about his plan to protect Earth, saying, “If (there’s) something living on another planet and it’s bad and it comes over here, what would you do?” Replied the former New York City mayor, “Of all the things that can happen in this world, we’ll be prepared for that, yes we will. We’ll be prepared for anything that happens,” said Giuliani, who spent the day campaigning in key early voting state. Being prepared is a recurring campaign theme for Giuliani, the mayor during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York.The boy’s question let Giuliani take a lighthearted turn as he wrapped up his answer on emergency preparedness. “This could be the new Steven Spielberg,” he said. “You want to be a science fiction writer or a scientist?” Then Giuliani asked the audience for another question: “Shall we take one question about this planet?”
