"5. Al Gore (1948 - )
Believe it or not, the winner of the popular vote in the U.S. presidential election of 2000 was actually a devoutly religious divinity school dropout. It�s true! Al Gore graduated from Harvard cum laude in 1969 (although he earned several Cs and a D during his time in Cambridge), but he�d always been interested in theology, so he decided to continue his studies. It�s no wonder, then that he enrolled in Vanderbilt�s prestigious divinity school, where, over the course of three semesters, he failed five of his eight classes! Gore�s allies claimed that the birth of his first child and his duties as a reporter at the Tennessean newspaper kept him from his studies. For the record, though, Gore also later dropped out of Vanderbilt�s law school (in 1976), but this time for a truly higher purpose - to run for Congress"
Did they teach the Peter Principle there?
