Jesus Christ. Now it’s reality crossovers. Fuck it. Any person who thinks Palin is a reasonable choice for president should be sent to a labor camp. > **[WATCH: Sarah Palin, Kate Gosselin Go Camping](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sarah-palin-kate-gosselin-camping_n_791697)** > > WATCH: Sarah Palin, Kate Gosselin Go Camping ---

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks Palin is a horrible choice for just about anything. Although, I do love Tina Fey’s impression of Palin. HILARIOUS! ---

Am I the only one fears the black hole that will inevitably be created when these two massive egos come together? ---

I think Kate is kind of a poser. She seems almost okay on TV, but I’d bet she’s a BITCH in private. You can tell by some of the looks she would give John on the show. Yes, I watched the show a few times. ---

Yes, I watched the show a few times. I don’t know if you saw her season of Dancing with the Stars, but there was one episode where they showed some behind the scenes footage of her dance partner getting so frustrated with her during practice, that he literally just walked out on her. So, yeah, I’d say your characterization is a pretty fair one. ---

I just found it entertaining to see how they handled all those kids! My current obsession is this stupid PI backwoods show. I don’t even know the name of it, but it’s clearly staged. I can’t seem to stop watching it! HELP! :rolleyes: ---

I guess I didn’t catch Dancing with the Stars. Maybe she should partner up with Octo Mom. ---

Why don’t that make it a three way reality crossover and invite the bear that ate that “Grizzly Man” fellow? I would tune in to see these two eaten by a bear:cool: ---

> [@Sweetums](#): > > Why don’t that make it a three way reality crossover and invite the bear that ate that “Grizzly Man” fellow? I would tune in to see these two eaten by a bear:cool: That is gross animal cruelty. You should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting that, **Sweetums**. How DARE you torment a bear by making it eat Sarah Palin and/or Kate Gosselin. I recommend relocating the camp series to somewhere north of Nome, far away from roads, and NO CAMERAS. Palin would wither up and die without attention. ---

I was going to say, “please tell me someone got eaten by a bear” but thanks to the previous posts I now realize that would be cruel to the bears. So, please tell me one of them stepped in a bear trap and had to chew her own leg off. ---

I read an article on the camping episode. Basically, although it was a rainy day, the Palins were in high spirits and happy to have company and be camping. The Goslin kids were reportedly having a good time. HOWEVER, The Massive Narcissistic EGO that is called Kate spend the entire time whining and cying about how cold she was and how could anyone else enjoy this…and then packed up the kids and left rather than stay overnight. ---

I was about to write that if it cements in people’s minds that’s she’s more a reality TV personality and less a leader, that might be good. But then I remembered that people don’t want leaders as leaders, they want people they would like to have a beer with as leaders. Oh well. ---

Maybe if we pick one day next year and make her drink a beer with each American, all in one sitting, the alcohol poisoning will take care of the problem for us. 😃 ---
