To ignore a question, and instead, to substitute your own non sequitur. This technique was popularized by Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin in her debate with Joe Biden, and then later emphasized by Tina Fey in her parody of this debate.
Man, you totally pulled a Palin when you responded to the landlord's request for rent with a long tirade on the banks.

comes from Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin meaning completely unprepared and nonsensical.

A: You mean that topless one with footie pajamas? That shit was too Palin for my tastes.

Carrie Prejean claimed she was Palinized in her jaw-droppingly inept Larry King interview. She is absolutely right. Her political career will be missed...

To be publicly interrogated in such a fashion that one's mental capacity is questioned by the majority post interview.
Sarah Palin was Palinized by Katie Couric.

Using a flurry of words used to answer a question without really answering the question a la Sarah Palin; similar to verbal diarrhea or word vomit (as used in Mean Girls). Often times involves restating the question within the answer or answering a question with a question.
1) GIBSON: Have you ever met a foreign head of state?
PALIN: I have not. And I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you. But Charlie, again, we got to remember what the desire is in this nation, at this time. It is for no more politics as usual. And somebody’s big, fat resume maybe that shows decades and decades in that Washington establishment, where, yeah, they’ve had opportunity to meet heads of state.
VIEWER: She totally palinated that question.
2)I asked him straight up if he was cheating on me and he responded by saying "girl, you know i love you and you are my baby momma!" and I was like "whatevs, don't even try to palinate."

Because McCain chose Sarah Palin for VP he got palined at the 2008 elections.
BP keeps getting palined by all these failed attemps to deal with the oil spill.
