Of course not- not the same thing. But inspired in the same way that, say, Amazing Grace or the Sistine Chapel was inspired.

I read his statement in the same way. There's "inspiration" (i.e., our mostly-Christian founders being led by the Holy Spirit in prayer to use their God-given mental and spiritual gifts to write an enduring Constitution), and then there's Verbal Plenary Inspiration, the Special Revelation which we Christians believe is uniquely characteristic of the Old and New Testaments. I don't believe that Dr. Paul was putting them on the same level.
