In his analysis  a GOP potential candidates for President–short form, everyone pretty much sucks–Dick Morris called Sarah Palin a “flake” for resigning as  Alaska governor, saying she was playing into the media portrayal of her. He added that she was

the only governor who resigned without going to jail

He’s right about Palin, but wrong about governors who have stepped down from office: Nelson Rockefeller, Spiro Agnew, Janet Napolitano, Kathleen Seibelius, and Morris’ former boss Bill Clinton all  stepped down to run for or accept higher office.

And of course, it wouldn’t be politics without resignation over sex scandals with Eliot Spitzer,  Jim McGreevey and Mark Sanford being the hot dogs in that category. Arizona had two governors leave office: Meecham was impeached, F. Fife Symington was convicted for fraud and thus under the state’s constitution had to step down…

But Morris is right about Palin being a flake.
