Palindrone

A common mode of speech whereby the soliloquyst babbles in seeming eloquence but actually manages to say next to nothing relevant –nor coherent, by dangling gerunds, mangling prepositions, randomly exiling nouns and verbs and/or using verbs better left as nouns, often even flatly contradicting him/herself.
Example of use:
"At Todd's old church in Wasilla, they spoke in tongues. Maybe that’s where he picked up his palindrone."

Example of palindrones:
“With the impacts of climate change, what we can do about that, as governor, I was the first governor to form a climate change subcabinet to start dealing with the impacts.”

“You know, there are man’s activities that can be contributed to the issues that we’re dealing with now, with these impacts.”

“If Americans so bless us and privilege us with the opportunity of serving them, ... we will progress the agenda.”

Palindrones

Extreme right-wing supporters of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin who follow her blindly and uncritically (e.g., those who see her interview flubs as marks of homespun authenticity, and who, presumably, would praise her eloquence whether she read her talking points backwards, forward, or upside down).
While many voters regard Palin's gaffes and misstatements with concern, Palindrones see them as a badge of honor for the "Joe Sixpack" crowd.

palindrone

a sentence that doesn't make any meaningful sense read forward, backword, or in any combination of the words used. Related to palindrome; a spout of mindless gibberish as could only be told by Sarah Palin.
More palindrone from that candidate: "As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?"
