Le Afffaire Dingwall and Warren Kinsella has nothing to say. Nada. Zip. nothing. My how unusual unless we remember this: Kinsella worked for Dingwall at Public Works, and together they seem to have selected Chuck Guite, the man for AdScam. Thanks for the reminder CIVITATENSIS.

Good work sorting out your sidebar. That was annoying for a while.
It is true that WK doesn't want to talk about Dingwall. I think, however, that if he talked about all the things that anyone wanted him to talk about, he'd have to give up his practice and blog fulltime. I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone.
I hope the pop ups and deathslow speed of loading have stopped. And in IE that the blog appears where its supposed to.
As for Kinsella here is what was reported in the press at the time of the Dingwall expose a year ago. And Kinsella had time and the urge to comment then. A year ago.
Dingwall saw Guite as best man to run program

"The 1995 letter that sparked the conflict with Quail was sent on Dingwall's instructions but was written by his executive assistant, Warren Kinsella.
He too insisted Friday he was only making suggestions, not issuing instructions.
"I would not instruct Mr. Quail to do anything,'' said Kinsella. "It would not be proper to do that.''
Kinsella, a staunch ally of former prime minister Jean Chretien, also used his testimony to take a thinly-veiled shot at Chretien's successor Paul Martin.
Kinsella has helped keep the pot boiling with some harsh comments on his personal website about the Gomery inquiry, which was called by Martin to sort out the scandal that erupted on Chretien's watch.
The inquiry has turned into a "judicial circus'' that might better be called the "Gomery Pyle Commission,'' Kinsella wrote recently.
In another entry he predicted that inquiry counsel Neil Finkelstein would do all in his power to block the mention of "anything remotely positive'' about the Chretien years.
As it turned out, the exchanges between Kinsella and Finkelstein on Friday were civil, if not exactly cordial.
"I thought Mr. Finkelstein is a very accomplished barrister and a gentleman,'' Kinsella said as he emerged from the hearing.
Also see the exchange between Kinsella and Andrew Coyne at the time.
And all Kinsella has to say now is about his latest gig.
