Meanwhile Rand Paul says he has “the Constitution in one hand and the Bill of Rights in the other”. Bush was joking. Paul was being ignorant.

Actually, not so much. The National Archives houses and displays the Charters of Freedom as three separate documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. While the BOR is obviously contained within the Constitution, it is often referenced as an entity unto itself, and rightly so.
