I wonder if that's true when taken out of context? :-)

I'm no physicist but wouldn't a static electric field
be made up of virtual photons while a dynamic electric
field would be made up of non-virtual photons?

Non-virtual photons, as opposed virtual non-photons I presume. I think
physicists know they're going to have to wait until they get to the
pearly gates before they can really learn what "electric fields are made
out of". ;-)
