oh man, I've screwed up plenty of times when I've been drunk.

Never had them posted on YouTube though.

Good luck to you Adam and shame on all those high-minded commentators with the sense of humour bypass.

You have to understand that the whole world has a stake in the outcome of American elections. What the American president decides affects the whole world but we don't get to vote for him !!

SteveLane

Yes, it's not like the US has 700 military bases world wide or ever uses the CIA to destabilize democratically elected governments to suit US national interests.
....Or does it ???
Journalist or CIA which do you think could have the most influence?

Forget Jonathan Ross and Russel Brand... this is BrummieGate... Adam you rock mate

I have doubt that he will find a (taxpayer funded) job within the Obama administration.

You don't find someone with this kind of discipline, dedication and devotion to your job just SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET for goodness sake. Those ppl are hard to find.

Obama definitely OWES you job! Try Asst. Press Secretary.

On the bright side...Look how He has already provided CHANGE for this hard newz journalist.

All the best Adam! You deserve it!
Wish all you journos had the same kind od dedication.

mbyr0nm1,
God made Adam/Eve not Adam/Steve
Huzzah for Prop 8!!! HUUZZAHH!!!

Surely they can not sack him for that. He was drunk in another country. You got the story and it was not copy or pasted then i do not see the problem.

"let them spend their lives and treasure to defend the world from the animals, instead of relying on the US to do it..."

I take it you have never seen Team America? I think maybe you should watch it. Then realise what an idiot you are.

Sorry, schmuck... unlike the morons who wanted the United States to fail because of their deep hatred for George Bush, I hope that President-elect Obama succeeds. I am an American, and Barack Obama will be my President. I hope for the best, and I wish him (and us) well.

StuartinGN

Unfortunately, I know you well. You say you supported Bush until 9/11. After 9/11 Bush was superb. The fact is, with all of his faults, it was Bush who kept us safe. Regardless of what the Bush haters would like to believe. I don't like much of what Bush did, but he fulfilled magnificently the most important function of the President of the United States. And, regardless of your protestations, don't try to sell anyone on the idea that you wanted Bush to succeed.

I just used google news to find all references to "Adam Smith". One that caught my eye was from the Birmingham Mail.("...reporter Adam Smith is in America as Barack Obama is named as the next president. Here is his take on the atmosphere in the US: A NEW...") It linked to a blank page.

I guess the spokesman for the paper who challenged anyone to find evidence of plagiarism had gone through everything like a dose of salts before he opened his mouth. LOL!

lenin1928

is that one of those corny obama shirts with his ugly face on it? what a british asshole.

cdlgbg

Fkkn brilliant. No worries Adam/Steve, you'll get hired anywhere, should Brummie Mail kick you out.

mrjewls

Adam/Steve, thank you for your heartfelt comments (regardless of the fact that they and you were well-marinated). I and I am sure many other Americans wish you the best in your career. Look at it this way: both you and Barack are starting a new chapter at the same time.

Drummydrum

Reality has a Liberal bias.

He's sober in this video?

Chaspaws

Adam,

I'm a ex-brummie living in the USA, your a total waste of space, one for helping Obama, and two for being a drunked idiot, I'm so glad you lost your job.....

Ass wipe.

Shits like this and islamic BBC employees have smashed the reputation of the BBC as neutraal depenable news organisation.

It all down to islamic en leftist propaganda at the BBC these days. They must clean up their act en firing this guy is a step in the right direction
He doesn't even realise how unprofessional he is as a journalist. IQ rating just went up at the BBC.

kenai36

Mate you need your IQ checking, he said at least 3 times he works for the Birmingham Mail, where does Islam come into this, he's just a pissed guy who has lost his job.

davekennelly

Adam, you're a fucking hero mucka. You've got by backing all the way. Don't give in to democracy!!

Great Vid, Adam/Steve... you should work for The Brummie Tourist Board - thanks for telling the world that the best thing about Birmingham is the bus to elsewhere (for you top-class journalists, that is).

You guys are lucky he's taken it with such grace. It was completely unethical to post his drunken ravings online without his sober consent. Adam could sue you and he would definitely win, because implicit consent is invalidated by obvious intoxication. Shame on you Alex and co.

Well done Adam, good to see you live by your convictions. You're only saying what we all think and articulating exactly what is wrong with the mass media today. Check out crikey.com I'm pretty sure they'd give you a job, we love guys like you over here in Australia.

I think the dutch "amateur" who posted this has a lot to answer for. She's exploited the poor bloke while drunk, posting a video of him resigning without his consent or knowledge. That is ethically wrong and just downright low. You're no journalist baby. Just another dimwitted 'citizen journalist'. Do the world of journalism a favour and join a teaching training course for primary school aged children. That's more your natural level.
