I have never been to Mount Rushmore, but have drawn it more times than any other landmark, and peopled it with the unlikeliest figures (though once with caricatures of the
actual inhabitants). On the right is a voter promo piece (Whig? Republican? Democrat? Gee, really hard to tell …) featuring former California Assembly Speaker and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, former Rep. Vic Fazio of the Sacramento-Yolo counties region, and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California.
Brown makes it atop Rushmore once again in this version (left) long, long ago to plug a kind of political directory. Joining him are Gov. Jerry Brown, former Gov. George Deukmejian, and former Gov. and President Ronald Reagan, who would have been 100 years old this month. I'm sure the folks who've wanted to carve Reagan's face into the real Rushmore will be out again banging their drum about it. Maybe it's best not to fan the passion.
