Bentley tells WVTM-TV in an interview that he was "by far" the best governor ever of Alabama.
The 74-year-old Bentley pleaded guilty to misdemeanor campaign finance charges following a sex-tinged scandal with a female adviser.
Bentley says he accomplished more in seven years than the state's five previous governors. That would include Gov. Jim Folsom Jr., who is widely credited with launching the state's automotive industry by helping lure Mercedes-Benz to Alabama.
