I've seen them before and they are ugly. None of them would have wanted their face there so who is actually being honored?
Teddy did. That's why his face is included
While Teddy was the self-aggrandizing type who probably wouldn't have objected to having his face carved into a mountain, Rushmore wasn't even proposed until long after Teddy's political career was over.
