'Hilarious!' Julia Louis-Dreyfus' 'birthmark' is 'proof' Rolling Stone didn't make historical mistake [pic]

Twitter was abuzz yesterday over Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Rolling Stone cover photo, which featured the Constitution on the “Veep” star’s back:

Also featured? John Hancock’s signature. Which is all well and good, except for one thing: Hancock didn’t sign the Constitution.

Louis-Dreyfus initially explained the oops away in character:

Hancock signed Dec. of Independence NOT Constitution.Yet another Mike fuck-up.Dummy.#veep #crackexcuse @VeepHBO @mrmattwalsh cc@rollingstone

But today, she changed her story and presented herself in an even more revealing light:

Ha! Needless to say, the excuse went over well:
