The
cover image of next month's Rolling Stone magazine featuring the "Veep"
star depicts a nude Louis-Dreyfus with a tattoo of the U.S.
Constitution signed by John Hancock across her back. The problem is
Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
Louis-Dreyfus
jokingly blamed the blunder on Mike McClintock, the fictional "Veep"
character played by Matt Walsh who serves as communications director to
Louis-Dreyfus' Vice President Selina Meyer on the HBO comedy series.
"Yet another Mike (expletive)," the 53-year-old actress posted Wednesday on Twitter. "Dummy."
The
National Constitution Center in Philadelphia mocked the flub by
tweeting a photo of the cover alongside such Founding Fathers as George
Washington and Benjamin Franklin in Signers' Hall with the words,
"Thanks for the shoutout but no Hancock here."
Inside the
magazine, another image shot by photographer Mark Seliger shows a man in
a colonial wig tattooing Hancock's signature above the bare bottom of
the Seinfeld actress,
"I'm a
perfectionist in my work," Louis-Dreyfus notes in the magazine's cover
story. "I think I might drive people nuts. I don't ask them, because I
don't need that (expletive) on top of how I'm feeling."
