Mama Grizzly Kate Melts Down on Palin Camping Trip

Just for those who miss the old Kate

(Newser) – Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin might have politics and the strong woman thing in common, but they're tundras apart in one area: camping. "We are not camping people. I'll scream it from the mountaintops," sobs Kate on a camping trip in the latest episode of Sarah Palin's reality show. "I don't see hand cleansing materials. I am freezing to the bone. I held it together as long as I could and I'm done now."

Later she sits sullenly next to a tent and grumbles at Piper Palin: "This is fun for you?" Piper, like her mom, goes into upbeat face freeze, stunned that no one could enjoy the overcast drizzle of a chilly Alaska campout the way they do. "Are you staying here for real?" asks an incredulous Gosselin to smiling Sarah as she stomps off home after a mere two hours in the "wilderness." Good riddance. Sarah's dad said Kate "bitched from the minute she got off the plane." Click here for the video.

I'm trying to not get ugly about this video. I hope my response is appropriate, since I was raised on a farm, I've hiked and camped, and I do work in a factory where it's normal for a lot of cold air to blow in when dock workers open those dock doors; all the while I'm naturally sensitive to cold: It honestly sounds like Kate Gosselin was not at all prepared for the experience. For starters, it sounds like her thermals weren't heavy enough, if she wore thermals at all. If i were to camp in Alaska, I would check with people living there to see if regular thermals were enough, or if I have to step it up to something like expedition-weight. I hope this helps shed light on the discussion. Thank you.

Jesus!!! What a whining, spoiled, stick-in-the-mud bitch!!! Her kids were having a good time out in that gorgeous wilderness. In fact, all the kids were. Then she starts with the "Boo-Hoo I'm cold, bullshit. Wah Wah...". Imagine how her kids are going to turn out with a role model like that? It's CAMPING, you dumbass bitch. Eat doo-doo and die...

You're right Mr. Joshua, Not that all city bred Americans are like this but if Kate Gosselin could make Sarah Palin look good than that makes her a pitiful human being.
