The Constitution, John Hancock, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ backside

There are two ways to look at today’s national controversy over the gaffe on Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ backside: (1) How dare they says John Hancock signed the Constitution? or (2) Hey, Americans are reading the Constitution!

Nobody seemed to notice the mistake until the National Constitution Center pointed it out.

George Washington to .@RollingStone – Thanks for the shout out but no Hancock here (picture from Signers' Hall). http://t.co/bUHBOblDTR

Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
