As Bruce Springsteen said at a recent concert at which he and Billy Joel performed:

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."
