    What is wrong with these jokers?!? I see absolutely nothing wrong or sexist in what he said. Ugh! So fed up with these idiots. And why did he delete his comments?? He should have stood up for himself. I've had it with these wimps as well. They need to quit backing down just because the PC bullies yell at them. SMH

    And also to the no backbone of these people who are 'called out'. You know how you meant it Steve, and nothing wrong with it. Stand up to them already.

    But in the poetic justice department, many of these liberals are feeling what it's like to get on the wrong side of their own ridiculous over-reacting kind.

    It's human nature... we are first drawn to the beauty, then discover even greater beauty. Steve Martin probably thought it just wasn't worth it. I agree with him. I don't think it would be such a bad thing if more celebrities gave up their twitter accounts.
