Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus graces the cover of this week's Rolling Stone, unveiled Wednesday, showing off a lot of patriotism and skin.
The actress appears on the cover naked, wearing nothing but the U.S. Constitution -- and right above her tush is a big ol' John Hancock, a tribute to one of America's founding fathers.
Only problem? Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
In my defense, “I was in a drunken stupor” #crackexcuse http://t.co/Jo0HgFtpho cc: @RollingStone pic.twitter.com/f7SFgCsHBO— Julia Louis-Dreyfus (@OfficialJLD) April 8, 2014

While many news outlets jumped to criticize Rolling Stone, the actress took it all in stride. In a tweet, she claimed to be in a "drunken stupor" during the shoot, placing all of the blame on Mike McLintock, a character on Veep.
But the winner came on Thursday, when she unveiled an epic throwback pic.

Well played, Vice President Meyer.
Rolling Stone though, didn't have as cheeky of a reponse. The AP reports that Stone spokeswoman Melissa Bruno said the Declaration of the Independence appears on the other side of Dreyfus' body, but they couldn't fit in the signatures.
