British Journalist Works for Obama Campaign and Quits his Job See Video

A British journalist for The Birmingham Mail newspaper was caught on tape, slumped on a Miami sidewalk, attempting to file plagiarized copy for his paper on a laptop, and ultimately telling his boss back home F"*&@ you!"

British Journalist Drunkenly Quits Post

Adam Smith, who repeatedly identifies himself as a "hard news journalist" in a clip that appeared on YouTube, tells the person behind the camera that he has taken a week off from work to volunteer for the Obama campaign in Miami, Fl, "because that's where the party is." He goes on to admit that the story he's about to file is nothing more than a cut-and-paste job from the BBC's web site.

After stating the obvious that, "I'm a bit of an idiot" and "Obama all the way baby!", Smith then resigns spectacularly from his job by telling his editor back home, "F&*@ you, I'm doing what I want to."

Wow. At least he's honest, I suppose. (Honest about his misdemeanours, I mean.)

I hate to be the cynic here but I’ve been drunker behind the wheel of a big rig (drinking and driving is not only amoral and offensive it put other peoples lives at risk http://www.baddcentral.com/ ).

This guy’s hardly drunk and that misdemeanour he confessed too sounded far to Thompson for my liking.

Part #2 of the "Adam Smith" double feature is actually rather intelligent. Europe is old and Americas naivety is certainly her sexiest trait...

So, anyone looking for a job, perhaps the Mail is a good place to start
