My friend took a picture of this guy during her White House tour. EDIT- Capitol tour.
Any idea who he is supposed to be?

That's the Green beret that killed Colonel Kurtz.

Martin Sheen?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the best person to ask would have been the tour guide... Nah, that's too easy.

Martin Sheen?


Mouth : [examining coins in the well] President Lincoln... George Washington... Martin Sheen...

Stef : Martin Sheen? That's President Kennedy, you idiot!

Mouth : Well, same difference. I mean, he played Kennedy once.

-The Goonies

Kind of looks like Clinton from Monica's point of view.

Eddie Albert in his 50's?

[BladesNBarrels]

Was it in the White House or the Capitol Rotunda - lots of the them there.

Thanks, Blades!

Robert M. La Follette


Robert M. La Follette was born in Primrose, Wisconsin, on June 14, 1855. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1879, was admitted to the bar in 1880, was appointed district attorney of Dane County from 1880 to 1884, and served from 1885 to 1891 in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he supported the McKinley Tariff Bill. Losing re-election, La Follette returned to his law practice and concentrated on improving the political system in Wisconsin.

Elected governor in 1900, he proposed and implemented his "Wisconsin Idea." This became an important element of the Progressive Movement; it included opposition to political bosses, employment of technical experts for public service, direct primary nomination, railroad regulation, and tax reform. He nominated himself to the United States Senate for the term beginning in March 1905 and was confirmed by the state senate, but he decided to remain as governor and left Wisconsin's U.S. Senate seat empty until 1906. He then took his seat in the Senate, where he served until his death.

On the national level, La Follette worked for progressive reforms, including the direct election of senators. He championed the conservation movement and led the opposition to the Payne-Aldrich Tariff. In 1912 he lost the Progressive Party presidential nomination to Theodore Roosevelt. To make his progressive ideas better known he founded La Follette's Weekly Magazine in 1909 and the National Progressive Republican League in 1911. He opposed American involvement in World War I and President Wilson's foreign policy. He wrote the resolution authorizing the Senate investigation of the Teapot Dome scandal. In 1924, he ran unsuccessfully for president on the Progressive Party ticket. He died on June 18, 1925, in Washington, D.C.

Either way.....the " I should have taken a dump an hour ago" grimace doesn't really help the dignity image that he might deserve respectively.

Aha! Good question. It was the Capitol.

Okay, each state gets two and all states have put them up.
She can go through each state and open the links to the pictures until she finds the right one.

Very few statues in the White House. Mostly portraits of former residents on the walls.

Glad you found the answer.

He was a lawyer and a politician. Dignity is questionable. Although he does kinda look like he's letting one rip. Gotta like that.

They have statues of two famous people from each state. Any idea which state this one represents?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the best person to ask would have been the tour guide... Nah, that's too easy.

And have him Mansplain some history about another boring white man? Hardly.
