1. Steve Martin who once made me laugh so hard I pulled rib muscles

Just brought a tear to my eye!

[PatSeg]

17. Same here

28. He's a wild and crazy guy, after all.

35. Steve Martin has become a lens through which I see the world

His wry, sarcastic wit has evolved into a wry, sarcastic but generous, wise, and knowing soul.

Writing musicals with Edie Brickell Simon, playing wacky but hot music with the Steep Canyon Rangers.

His recent stuff with Martin Short is as funny as anything he's ever done.

Perhaps America's most complete entertainer.

38. I don't think this is THE Steve Martin.

The profile says lawyer and blue grass band. I mean, maybe that is a joke, but I think it is someone with the same name.

2. Oh my, such beautiful words!

[GGoss]

3. Wow...

[Tetrachloride]

4. Any transcript ?

[iscooterliberally]

9. Here you go!

We've seen few humans this devoted and humble as Jimmy Carter.
Quietly continuing his mission,which was to do good.
If you must leave us go gently . Leave your heart and bravery so we might learn.
Thank you President Carter.
Jimmy.

6. Carter-Bashers have always pissed me off. If I hear ONE peep, there could be a justifiable homicide.

18. We should probably start a gofundme for bail for all DU'ers who will feel a

similar calling.

8. Jimmy Carter is a that rarest of species. . .

. . . An avowed Christian who actually follows the central tenets of Christ-- instead of using the label of "Christian" to further his political ambitions. Heck, the guy actually does carpentry work. What a mensch!

This is a lovely tribute, but not mine. This is from a different Steve Martin.

I agree. It is a lovely tribute but it isn't from the famous actor & comedian.

33. Please Everyone let's not put him in the ground quite yet.

I'm hoping he has at least two paragraphs left.

[BlueMTexpat]

34. Wonderful!

Thanks for posting!

[Uncle Joe]

36. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread Norbert

[calimary]

37. NICE!!!

A keeper for sure!

And while he’s still here, let’s send him good vibes of health and support. WHILE he’s still here. I’m glad to see it now, and not held til after he’s gone. I hope he’s hearing and seeing and reading it.

Kind of a shame he wasn’t appreciated very much when he was in the White House.

39. The sentiment is wonderful. This is not the comedian. Nt
