Kate Gosselin : One rough Camping Trip Later - Kate thinks She Has Political Ambitions

Following Kate Gosselin's televised  (and rough) camping trip with Sarah Palin , the mom of eight  in now telling friends she too has political ambitions  and would someday like to run for office.

"Honestly , Kate is unbelievely ," an insider says . "Her ego is out of control  at this point . Every since 'Dancing With The Stars' and the fact she appeared on more consecutive covers of   US Weekly than any other celebrity ever , she thinks she has what it takes to run for office.

The unlikely duo of Kate and Sarah was the brainchild of TLC , the network home for both of their shows . Pairing them on the latest episode of 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,' which aired last night , helped bumped rating up 11 percent . As US puts it , the two had "zero chemistry" and Kate has called the trip "the worst " of her life.

"After meeting and spending time with Sarah , Kate realized that if she  (Sarah Palin)  could run  for office , then so can Kate, "a friend of Gosselin's  says.  Sarah does have a little more experience than Kate does in office  , but  what they both have in common is huge . They  are both famous  reality stars  that you can either love or hate . They both have a way  of getting everyones attention.

Oh  yeah , and both have appeared on the biggest television show  in America ; 'Dancing With The Stars,' though Sarah was just  a spectator (a very , very , very influential spectator , of course) .

My spin : Are you freaking kidding me ??? Sarah  or Kate  can manage their families , how in the world would they run any kind of  political  office  . Sarah and Kate  makes a great pair , they both use their children only as props in their messed up lives .

Okay  folks , it's time we started  voting morons out of office ....not in.

Kate Gosslin and Brood Go Camping With the Palins

Kate Gosselin is not a happy camper. On this week's edition of "Sarah Palin's Alaska," she and her brood make a much-anticipated guest appearance. But don't expect it to reveal her inner Daniel Boone.
"How would you like to go camping with Kate and her eight kids — that TV show you watch?" Sarah Palin asks her daughter, Piper, at the start of the episode. Piper squeals with delight at the idea of hanging with these stars of another TLC series.

As things develop, the camping trip in the Alaskan wilds will be no day at the beach for Kate. But it makes for a hilarious hour of Palin's show, which airs on TLC Sunday at 9 p.m. EST. Read no further if you don't want spoiler details of Kate's stab at roughing it.

For a few fleeting moments, it seems she will savour her visit with the Palin family. She instantly bonds with Sarah, as they compare notes on the predatory nature of the media. "There's not a whole lot of people that I run into that can understand the scrutiny by the media and beyond," says Kate, whose crumbling marriage to Jon was documented on "Jon & Kate Plus 8" while it spurred a feeding frenzy from the tabloid press.
Now, single mom Kate and her kids just happened to be in Alaska taping one of her "Kate Plus 8" specials, which occasioned their guest spot with the Palins.

The first stop: Sarah takes Kate to a bear safety class to prepare her for their camping expedition. On the road from Wasilla to the class in Anchorage, Sarah sort-of jokes that, in case of a bear attack, "You need a partner with you who's slower than you."
"Oh, my gosh!" replies Kate, who already was spooked by the bear rug in the Palins' home. "Sacrifice your friends?"
At the rifle range, she looks more miserable than she used to look with Jon. And that's only the beginning.

The day of the camping trip, it's — wouldn't you know? — pouring rain. Out in the middle of nowhere by a stream and surrounded by mountains, Sarah is smiling, chipper and (literally) loaded for bear.
"Rain or shine, Alaskans still camp. We still find a way to have fun," she chirps. Then Kate and her kids land at the campsite. Quickly, Kate proves to be a bigger pill than a horse tranquilizer.
"I'm not worrying about bears right now," she is soon grousing. "I'm just worried about keeping my toes wiggling 'cause they're freezing."

Sarah, daughters Piper and Willow, husband Todd and other family members seem to be having a blast. So, for that matter, are Kate's youngsters. "The kids are having fun, so I'm tolerating it, but this is my new home," grumbles Kate, having sullenly planted herself, apart from the rest, beneath a tarp. "I am miserable, but, I mean, somebody's got to be."

Sarah, ever gung-ho, announces to the group, "This is the most luxurious camping spot I've ever seen!"
Cut to Kate, who tells the camera, "It just kills me that people, like, willingly do this." Soon everybody else is enjoying hamburgers, hot-dogs and s'mores from the camp fire. Maybe it was finding out the hot-dogs are moose meat . About that time, Kate loses it. "I don't see a table, I don't see utensils, I don't see hand-cleansing materials," she whimpers. "This is not ideal conditions. I am freezing to the bone, I have 19 layers on, my hands are frigid. I held it together as long as I could and I'm done now!"

She gathers up her children and, mere hours after their arrival, they have eaten and run. Fortunately, Sarah knows the show must go on. Minus the Gosselins, she settles the crowd down for the night.
"Well, I thought we were gonna go camping with the Gosselins," she says when it's all over, full of glossy good cheer. "Turned out, we didn't. We had lunch with them on a sand bar."

Well what did you expect?? A more odd couple couldn't be imagined. Chalk and cheese, north and south, there is no way Kate could adapt and rough it.
