Senator Graham DARES to talk about someone being 'disconnected from reality'?!http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57549819/graham-susan-rice-disconnected-to-reality-doesnt-deserve-promotion/
This was the fellow, remember, who toured that Baghdad market
with McCain and bragged about how secure it was, when you go shopping
with a whole phalanx of heavily armed troops - and shut down and ignored
the vendors trying to tell them how dangerous it still was and how they
feared for their lives. Insurgents hit that market after they left, to
leave the message, 'secure? really?' How many people died over Graham
and McCain's little publicity stunt there? I'm sure it was more than
four people!

"There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods today ... General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed Humvee. You want to -- I think you ought to catch up."
Here are Sens. McCain and Graham enjoying a nice stroll through a Baghdad market.
