...and he proudly proves it in front of a group of tea-bagging mouth-breathers who probably didn't know the difference either.That's a patriotic Boehner right there...
Keith Olberman’s Countdown segment last night has it on video. But here’s what Rep. John Boehner said: This is my copy — this is my copy of the Constitution.

Via Debate Both Sides: Boehner mixes up Constitution and Declaration House Minority Leader John Boehner was fired up and ready to go at [...]
National Treasure (and The Declaration of Independence) was a study in intriguing men. Nicholas Cage's first film by that name provided a fictional account of events surrounding our nation's birth. It was very entertaining. But it was not real, was...
My wife, saw an offer to get a free copy of the constitution and declaration of independence and thought it would be a good idea to sign up for it (never mind that I’ve got several copies lying around in various formats). As a citizen in training she wants to be prepared to know what [...]
... Native American Indians. Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence? Bill of Rights? Didn't think so. Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No. Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery....
The Republicans are obstructing any way they can this morning. Watch the videos. The way I feel about this compromise vote is probably akin to how Thomas Jefferson felt when the anti-slavery clause was stricken from the Declaration of Independence in order to get enough votes to pass. Stupak probably doesn’t have the votes, but again: Why [...]
... and then said he was quoting the Preamble to the Constitution while he actually quoted from the Declaration of Independence. Being myself constitutionally incapable of leaving well enough alone, I then excitedly exclaimed not that he wasn't reading from the Preamble to the Constitution but that there wasn't a Preamble to the Constitution at all, which of course is total nonsense and...

Okay, okay. Every once in a while, people mix up the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Sure, it seems like lately the right-wing pot-stirrers seem to be doing it more than anyone else , but it's obvious that when House Minority Leader John Boehner was brandishing the Constitution today on the steps of Capitol Hill and talking about how he was going to vote against health-care...
... hit Boehner for is getting the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution mixed up with the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence. He did get that wrong.
