Kinsella's own rules:
- Rule #1 for political advisors: never make yourself the issue.
- Rule #2 for political advisors: when you fight back with facts make sure you've got your facts straight.
Except he's now breaking both of them.
He says here that "I had an email exchange with the Conservative Chinese Association about that. I asked their representative, Karen Sun, what her organization thought about Jason's plan to present a fake award..."
The problem is that Karen Sun is actually seems to be the Executive Director of the Chinese Canadian National Council Toronto Chapter - a group that has nothing to do with the Conservative Party.
Warren. Please stop talking about this.
Perhaps Kinsella has simply had a rough month. Or maybe he's just not that good. Sure he won elections for Chretien but Chretien faced a divided right. Ignatieff better have a plan B in case Kinsella flames out totally.
UPDATE (Feb 4): Kinsella has corrected his post to correctly identify Karen Sun as being the Executive Director of the CCNC and not the CCA.

Agreed! Hopefully, as far as I've heard, it hasn't made much of a stir in the media and could just blow over. Good point, nevertheless.
Sorry, I am not saying your wrong in what you wrote, but please clarify how Kinsella has his facts wrong. (I have beem shoveling a lot of snow, and I am feeling dizzy) lol.
Thanks in advance.
Re-read, all cleared up. :)
Earlier, on Friday, I had an email exchange with the Chinese National Council about that. I asked their representative, Karen Sun, what her organization thought about Jason’s plan to present a fake award, and – in my view – mock the recipients.
Hope you got a screen shot, because he apparently changed the words. Assuming you got it right - not saying one way or another.
OMG!!!
I used to think Warren K was THE MAN!
But now I suspect girlfriend is coming UN DONE! UN GLUED, even!
I absolutely ADORE Chinese people and Chinese food. For Warren K to go off like this, he must be past his 'best before' date!!
His Igginess MUST put ol' Warren K out to pasture! Please!

Hasn't made much of a stir in the media? Not the english language media maybe, but in the Chinese language media, including Sing Tao (the 4th largest newspaper by circulation in Canada), it's had non-stop coverage. Been discussed a lot on Chinese language radio talk shows in Toronto and Vancouver. Lots of coverage overseas in China and elsewhere, with front page coverage on sina.com.cn, one of the most visited web sites in the world.
There are several close ridings where people of Chinese descent are a huge factor in what party that the riding will elect. There is definite impact from this story.
Kinsella *did not* win elections for Chretien. Chretien, John Rae and Fast Eddie won elections for Chretian and Kinsella took the credit because he was the only one self-promoting enough to go on political panels.
