palinizing
The art of distraction with the goal of diverting attention away from a fault and towards the glittering veneer of hollow talking points which dazzle but do nothing in terms of answering the question presented.
Sarah Palin is really good at palinizing, and does it every time someone asks her a question. I think that's why it's called "palinizing."
Palin
1. An applicant lacking even basic job skills
2. Someone supremely un-self-aware or lacking any relative sense of what he/she does or doesn't know.

HR sent me another Palin for the marketing manager job.
Palinism
1. Malapropism, non-sensical verbiage, non-sequitor or other illogical, stream of concious meanderings uttered by Sarah Palin.
2. A form of homespun, Midwestern demagoguery and fear mongering comprised of a stream of logically unrelated and unsupported talking points uttered by an attractive woman with nice cans and a presumably fine ass intended to engender loyalty among those inspired by demagoguery, non-sequitors, a great smile, nice tits and a presumably fine ass.

See, e.g., Palin interview with Couric as parodied on SNL.
A Palinism is contained in the following thread: "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil." –-Sarah Palin, in a message posted on Facebook about Obama's health care plan, Aug. 12, 2009

John was recently made principal, but everybody thinks he's a Palin who can't do the job.
My new boss is such a Palin - he took my deserved place because the CEO is his personal friend.

palin
1) An agressive, yet dim witted, mammal which reacts with uninformed vitriol to incite other palins to attack.

1) I can't believe they promoted that palin instead of me. He can barely pronounce his own name!
If you want to kill a moose, a BB gun is a real palin.
2) They definitely palined that car. It doesn't even have an engine, much less a driver's seat.
Steve: Hey man, did you...?
Bob: You betcha. *Wink* Doggoneit, I sure have a history of...
