John Boehner Screws Up Again

Minority Leader John Boehner spoke at the Capital Hill tea party rally. Boehner cited the Constitution.

BOEHNER: This is my copy -- this is my copy of the Constitution. And I'm going to stand here with our founding fathers who wrote in the preamble, "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

One problem: Boehner actually cites the Declaration of Independence. This is the actual preamble of the Constitution.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

I'm happy that Boehner is the Republican House leader. Boehner makes Nancy Pelosi's job that much easier.
