Robin, The Ranting Raven has a hilarious angle on the CBS Killian documents, from one of the world's premier experts on forgery, Frank Abagnale Jr. who's story was the basis for the 2002 box office smash 'Catch Me if You Can.'

Robin sent an email to Mr. Abagnale, and recieved this reply.

Dear Robin, Thank you for your email. Though Mr. Abagnale has not seen the actual documents from what he has been on television he believes the documents are forgeries. He feels that this should be evident to anyone of any knowledge of forged documents.

I can tell you that he sent an e-mail to Neil Cavuto of 'Your World' on Fox News Network (he knows him personally) that stated: 'If my forgeries had looked as bad as the CBS documents, the movie would have been titled 'Catch Me in Two Days.'

'If my forgeries had looked as bad as the CBS documents, the movie would have been titled 'Catch Me in Two Days.'

Another 'hit man' for the Republicans? LMAO!

[gopwinsin04]

This is great, you couldn't make this stuff up if you tried!

'If my forgeries had looked as bad as the CBS documents, the movie would have been titled 'Catch Me in Two Days.'

ROTFLMAO!!!

Without President Clinton, the DNC aren't even good criminals!

[tioga]

LOL -- catch me in two days.........too funny.

[vrwinger]

I think you mean "partisan political operative: and "professional rumor mill(er)"... I wonder if he knew?

[mewzilla]

Two days. LOL. Doesn't say much for CBS, does it? Also makes me think that whoever ginned these up wanted the forgery to come out.

Nice story, but his name is spelled "Abegnale":

Abegnale & Associates

[ColoCdn]

But the URL says Abagnale, and so does the signature on the home page.

[ColoCdn]

So does the original blog at Little Green Footballs.

[CoolPapaBoze]

Like you can believe what that guy says.

[San Jacinto]

LOL -- catch me in two days.........too funny.

Actually, it was "Catch me in about two hours"--wasn't it?

[JamesWilson]

Ah, my favorite scene. I keep looking at the pinstripes. ;-)

[gopwinsin04]

My other favorite scene is the one with Jennifer Garner for obvious reasons..

[tioga]

actually we do not know WHO did this, just that it was done......but since these memos are already airing in a kerry commercial slamming Bush, I think we know where they came from.

[Soul Seeker]

ROFL!!!! It isn't right this statement be released the same day as the RNC statement. I have tears running down my face! Hysterical!

LOL!!

Frank Abagnale Jr., of course, was the inspiration for the character of "Mr. Woodman" on the hit 1970s sit-com, "Welcome Back Kotter." He was the master-mind principal that suggested to the good-hearted but gullible teacher, Gabe Kotter (Gabe Kaplan), that the absence-excuse notes turned in by Juan Epstein (Robert Hegyes) may not, in fact, be authentic. It was the Abagnale/Woodman character that solved the mystery of why Epstein's mother would refer to herself as "Epstein's mother" when signing them.

The real deal:

Like you can believe what that guy says.

LOL! Nice retort.

[MplsSteve]

I never saw this movie.

Was it any good?

[mewper]

Pajama People? From the Free Pajama Republic?

[EllaMinnow]

It's good.

[agrace]

HAHAHA, that is hilarious.

[jmstein7]

LOL!

[RoseofTexas]

Bawhahahahhaha...OH MY that's funny!

[Constitution Day]

All I can tell you is that when I posted that comment, the thread title & article both said Abignale.

Don't know about the original blog.

[Constitution Day]

My bad. I see what you mean now.

It's been a long day... sigh.

[Yehuda]

"Free Pajama Republic?"


LOL!

'If my forgeries had looked as bad as the CBS documents, the movie would have been titled 'Catch Me in Two Days.' This just seems way too easy. Almost like they intended to get caught. I guess it does not matter as long as Kerry remains the contender I'm happy.
