Is "Brit" any kind of name for a Patriot?

With the press failling all over themselves to report on the (tandem) parachute jump by Ex-Prez Bush celebrating his 80th birthday, very few are mentioning that Fair-and-Balanced news anchor Brit Hume joined the President in the skies over Houston. Nothing like keeping that journalistic objectivity Mr. H! Then again, maybe he was just there to talk with Chuck Norris.
