AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Experts have confirmed that the "McCain Laughing" portrait was painted by Rembrandt in 1628. William Noortman from Noortman Master Paintings, specializing in Dutch and Flemish masters, said it's worth between $5 and $20: "I'm very surprised it sold for more than that at auction." The painting was purchased last October by Cal Thomas for $29.95. When interviewed later about the painting, Senator McCain said "The 1620s bring up of fond memories of my youth, those were the gold old days."

Probably a commission. Even Rembrandt had to eat.
