I just heard Bill O'Reilly explain what it means to be a patriot. Can someone explain it to me?

[Syrinx]

Bill O., the clown. asserted that the actress Drew Barrymore has personally profited one dollar for every forty cents her movies have earned.

I have no idea if that figure is accurate or not. And it doesn't really matter, for the purposes of this post.

I have nothing against Drew Barrymore whatsoever. I think she's cute, and a savvy businessperson. And she seems like a nice person.

But in what world does the supposed fact that she extracted more from the economy than she produced make her a patriot, more than a "pinhead?"

That just doesn't make a bit of sense to me, at all.

I know I shouldn't watch Fox. But I like to keep a tab on the pulse of the enemy and all that.

1. Is Bill O. saying that the more money you make, the more patriotic you are?

[Syrinx]

2. it seems to be something along those lines

Or the more money you cheat other people out of. Or something.

3. It isn't required for entertainment to make sense... n/t

4. Just swallow everything the Saudstralians tell you without question.

That is what makes you a patriot.

5. Every year they put out a list of the most overpaid actors in Hollywood.

Barrymore is at the top this year. It changes every year. Will Ferrell has dropped a few places. It really just depends on how well the movies you were in the previous year did.

O'Reilly's schtick has just worn thin and even he's bored with it. Patriot means good and Pinhead means bad now. If he likes you you're a patriot and if he doesn't you're a pinhead.

Simple is as simple does.

7. O'loofah is as qualified to speak of patriotism

as he his about anything else.
ZERO=ZERO.

My dogs know more about patriotism than he does.

9. And what about the actors that were paid little, but the films did well?

Are they patriots to BillO the Clown because they couldn't negotiate for a better salary? What if FOX has a bad year? Does that mean BillO will return some salary?
