Does he know better? Or is he just his old arrogant self who knows better than anyone else? I like Andrew Moore - he did very well for a more casual approach to the after lunch show. We've had the big guns with Alan & Ray (who I admire greatly) so its time for Andrew and his less confrontational approach.

It should not have been mentioned and 2gb should bring in a responsible service of alchol policy! Smiths biggest mistake was that he hammers other people all the time for this type of behaviour and yet he carries on like that himself! If he didnt carry on with his high moral crap he would have been okay! Everyone would say we all make mistakes! He has been very dishonest and a big let down to everyone, you should be vey ashamed Smith. And stop supporting the Labour party ! John singelton and Allan jones should show him the door! Good riddons Smith you dishonest whimp! And none of you blokes have never been off your’e face and carried on like that !

The excuse of being smashed on alcohol doesn't wash . From from what has been reported, he was an offensive human being that night and there are probably more incidents that are unreported. His wife and kids should be very worried. So Sad.And don't knock the newspapers. talk radio uses newspaper story lines and information all day everyday. If it was a j groping jock from another station Smith would of been giving him/her absolute hell. Cause thats what he has always done. he said HE had a shocker on the news. What about the poor girls he drunkenly manhandled with a half a stiffy in his pants. And he had the shocker?Repulsive creature.

He was so base that he had a line or few changing her surname to something defamatory for no reason other than he disagreed with her mild suggestion on public policy. Sorry, no details about it as it was so forgettable & pathetic. Even worse were his rabid 2gb supporters with the most awful comments. If only listeners were as ruthless as him & his colleagues on that hypocritical station. Btw Marconi, hope you enjoy the "blokey" astrology readings...karma is a bitch.

Lets hope your daughters body parts aren't groped. Your excuse for groping young woman, the cover of alcohol , Now all of a sudden your mildly bi-polar....sure! Your are so transparent and the most massive media hypocrite. How 2GB management expect people to work with you is beyond belief ,as you most certainly are.

So you should you fool. Not a sincere word of apology to the poor women involved.What about naming and apologising to ALL of the woman you assaulted, instead of leaving us wonder if the women reading the news were Smiths victim' s now suffering as a result of his drunken behaviour. Notice this womaniser didn't chat to them on air beyond a token introduction. Seems he has been warned off. Hope he is restricted to working with his hands above the desk for their sake. How about an apology to the people you have bitterly condemned over the years for far less offensive action eg our Prime Minister Rudd.You never let up on him, Belinda Neal and Tiger. You are a weak bastard with a Kmart plastic spine. Smith you are offensive and a very self centred man.Noticed you didn't say you were giving up alcohol, rather you said you would leave it to your wife to monitor your drinking. Your can't be serious.Shift the responsibility for your behaviour to your wife why don't you .Oh yeah....it's only a matter of time. Seems you constantly have your dick in your hand.

He usually says things along the lines of "it is not an excuse to blame illness for bad behaviour". So what does he do - comes out with a sob story to a newspaper of how he is a bipolar, alcoholic. I hope people give Chris Smith the same treatment he was only too happy to dish out to others in the same situation. Sadly I doubt it will be the case - all you will hear on 2gb is welcome back Chris, isn't is great to hear you on the air and similar.

Are you all perfect ?? There have been/are some very famous people in various walks of life including Kings, Presidents, Politicians and to my mind, the worst of all, ordinary PRIESTS ( as they are placed in a position of Trust)......who have committed sexual misdemeanours & more serious offences & whom, it would appear, have, in some instances "gotten away with murder" (as the saying goes) We all have skeletons in our cupboards & I am convinced that we all possess a "dark" side !! Chris would be only too painfully aware that this is his very last chance on air !! He has sought help, it seems, and is sorry for his actions. I wish him Good Fortune & sincerely hope that his Afternoon Show will be # 1 top rating again !! If I sound a bit too lenient, then that is because I have walked in Chris's shoes...was helped & have got my Life back again...more beautiful than ever !! Best of Luck Chris !! Geeeeeeeee Guys !!
