Political Factoid

Infamous political office quitters:
  • Sarah Palin
    In 2009, she quit half way through
    her term as Governor of Alaska.
    She just could not take the heat.

     
  • Newt Gingrich
    Although he handily won reelection
    to an 11th term in the 1998 election,
    he declined to take his seat.
    He just could not take the heat.

     
  • Richard Nixon
    Resigned the office of President in 1974.
    He quit in disgrace.

     
  • Spiro Agnew
    Resigned office of Vice President in 1973
    in order to plead no contest to a reduced
    number of bribery charges.
    He quit in disgrace.
Can you spot a common denominator?
