Il-14th: Bill Foster in a bow tie

The latest mailer with Foster trying to fill Paul Simon's shoes.

Mighty ones to fill too and I wish Foster had remembered Simon for his courage during Rwanda per wikipedia rather than the green-eye-shade common sense.

I'm sure History will honor Simon's courage more than pay go during what was otherwise a shameful instance of inaction by the United States,

...he was an outspoken critic of President Bill Clinton's response to the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Simon believed America should have acted faster, and Clinton later said his belated response was the biggest mistake of his presidency.[10] He is, together with Jim Jeffords, credited by Canadian Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire, Force Commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) from 1993 to 1994, for actively lobbying the U.S. administration into mounting a humanitarian mission to Rwanda during the genocide. According to Dallaire's book Shake Hands with the Devil, he "owe[s] a great debt of gratitude" to both senators.
