Kerry is home. Chambliss is...who knows?

Little problem here with all this raving and ranting about Kerry asking for a filibuster against Alito while Kerry was in Switzerland. Notice nobody mentions that Kerry has flown back to deal with filibustering...and meanwhile, anybody know where Chambliss is?

From Media Matters.org :

CNN: Filibuster comments from Switzerland made Kerry -- but not Chambliss -- seem "elitist"

Summary:
CNN's Ed Henry said that Sen. John Kerry's call for a filibuster of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s nomination to the Supreme Court reinforced the "elitist" label given to Kerry by the GOP during the 2004 presidential campaign because he made the statement from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. However, when CNN later interviewed Sen. Saxby Chambliss about the potential filibuster, there were no "elitist" comments to be found, even though Chambliss was also commenting from Davos.

In reporting on Sen. John Kerry's (D-MA) call for a filibuster of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s nomination to the Supreme Court, CNN anchor Miles O'Brien and CNN congressional correspondent Ed Henry asserted that by calling for the filibuster from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Kerry reinforced the "elitist" label given him by the GOP during the 2004 presidential campaign. However, when CNN later interviewed Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) about the potential filibuster, there were no "elitist" comments to be found, even though Chambliss was also commenting from Davos.

On the January 27 edition of CNN's American Morning, Henry reported:

HENRY: Republicans believe that round two in "Bush v. Kerry" is going to go to Bush again, in part because John Kerry has decided to launch this filibuster of Samuel Alito from, of all places -- Davos, Switzerland -- where Kerry was attending the World Economic Forum. I can tell you, even some senior Democrats up here on Capitol Hill are saying they think this is only going to fuel Republican charges that Kerry is an elitist, that he's basically launching this from overseas. But a Kerry aide fired back to CNN that the senator could care less what the chattering class is saying about this....
