Dick Cheney is not impressed with Sarah Palin’s presidential resume, telling a radio host that he is concerned about her decision to abruptly resign her governor job in 2009.

“I’ve never gotten around the question of her having left the governorship of Alaska, mid-term,” the former Vice President told radio host Laura Ingraham. “I’ve never heard that adequately explained.”

He added that he’d “like to know more about that.” Palin offered a plethora of reasons for the decision at the time she stepped down, most notably citing a slew of ethics investigations that she said paralyzed state government and required huge legal costs.

Cheney and Palin are generally considered two of the least popular Republican leaders in the country based on polling.
