The reason this story got no traction outside the right wing blogs is twofold.

(1) You claim everything that is charged against a Republican doner or non-union factory is partisan politics, while when your guy was in power you overlooked raw partisanship under Alberto Gonzales that made John Ashcroft look like Janet Reno. Citizens are tired of the "Johnny did it too, Mommy" whining defense of the noise machine.

(2) Illegal logging is serious and real. The 110+ year old Lacey Act was amended during the last days of the Bush Administration, which includes the law Gibson is accused of violating. It deals with illegal trafficking in wildlife, fish and plants; requiring certain plants and plant products be accompanied by an import declaration to ensure they were taken legally from the exporting country.
