Sarah Palin and Al Gore were both journalism majors (at one time) in college.

Sarah Palin has a four degree in journalism.

Al Gore changed his attentions to poly sci, but his bachelors degree is said to be in "government". He also was classified as a "journalist" during his three months in Viet Nam.

Both these people are trained writers and word-slingers. It's the content of those words that is quite different.
