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.”

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?"

Palindrone

In the posing of a question to Sarah Palin, the case in which her answer is so long and so incoherent that it may as well have been said backwards.
Student: "Uhhh I didn't understand a single thing my poli sci. prof said today, it sounded like a Palindrone."

Palin: "But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the—it's got to be all about job creation, too..."
Debate moderator: "I'm sorry, you just Palindroned off there, I couldn't quite understand."
