One Rough Camping Trip Later, Kate Thinks She Has Political Ambitions

By Rob Shuter Posted Dec 13th 2010 05:00PM

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

"Honestly, Kate is unbelievable," an insider tells me. "Her ego is out of control at this point. Ever since 'Dancing With the Stars,' and the fact that she appeared on more consecutive covers of US Weekly than any celebrity ever, she thinks that 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 reality shows. Pairing them on the latest episode of 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,' which aired last night, helped bump ratings up 11 per cent. As Us put 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 could run for office then so could Kate," a friend of Gosslin's tells me. "Sarah does have a little bit more experience than Kate does in office but what they have in common is huge. They are both famous reality stars that you either love or hate. They both are beautiful and have a way of getting everyone's 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.)

What do you think, should Kate run for office some day? Would you vote for her? You got to admit those would be fun ribbon-cutting ceremonies with all her kids running around!

Oh. My. God. Are you flipping kidding me??? This silly episode was a publicity stunt to beef up mega-sagging ratings for both of these ridiculous broads. Not only did it work, but now Kate thinks she can be a politician?!!??! That would be scary if it wasn't so funny.

By jellybeans

Sarah Palin has no chance in hell to win any election. Kate would never run for for office, but sure keeps her name in the news for all of you to attack her. Her snark on the public is her game and it works everytime. Palin can stay right where she is. Who would vote for a quitter. Kate is on a supid TV show, Palin was a Gov. Huge difference!!!

By franklymydear

I have none.

By PoochMama4two

I hate to tell Miss Kate but the troubles she faces with her kids have only just begun. She won't have time to run for office if she intends to be an effective parent. Besides, she's got a reputation as a diva and there are alot of people out there who absolutely hate her. I'm not a fan.

By po

AND ALL YOUR IDIOTS VOTED FOR OBAMA TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Lobo

I think you are suppose to vote and know a little bit about issues. Kate debate on health insurance? The middle east? She doesn't even know the difference between North Korea and South Korea, she thought it was just "Korea'. LOL Dummy

I think Kate and Sarah should team up in 1012. Then the Demo's will slide into base easily.

By Michael Diamond

People are you not sick of this woman seriously what is the fascination with this plane Jane and her desperate hunger for fame. She is suited to be a Wal Mart cashier at best after she's taught to count back change, Stop buying the magazines and this
Scorge on society will go away kicking and screaming but it's up to YOU ALL TO RID US OF THIS WANNA BE I'm not advocating hate LET"S JUST GET RID OF KATE JOHN and those KID's.
STOP BUYING INTO THIS SENSELESS BULL AND WATCH HOW FAST THEY
GO AWAY!

Right on, Jerry! If airhead Palin can run, so could Kate. Palin wasn't capable even of finishing her term as governor of Alaska. What would stop her from simply throwing up her hands and quitting in the middle of her term as President? Both Palin and Kate are full of themselves.

By JAMES FRISK

KATE HAS THE PERSONALITY OF A COBRA. WHAT A BRAT

By Zermatt

"Her ego is out of control at this point......"

Yeah, just like Sarah Palin's has been for a long time.

It may seem to be obvious at this time ,but when we analyse , no one can predict the political future of anyone . So we might not be able to say how kate is going to be in politics .
