Know how Us Weekly sometimes runs pictures of famous people - and they’re candid photos, of course - studying the latest issue of Us Weekly at their local newsstand or trendy outdoor café?

And then he goes around and distorts this comment of mine about 100 years. And I hope he won’t continue that, if he’s committed to a respectful campaign.Van Susteren: I actually went back and read on-air [your] entire comment. You talked about — you compared Korea and Japan, you know, and I think it’s more the whole comment. And there was a lot said about that comment.
