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."

Palinizing 

Verbal hopscotch. 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.

The dude had no clue how to answer my question, so he spent the next five minutes palinizing.

Polonizing

Giving unwanted advice in terms of aphorisms, like Polonius from "Hamlet". In the play, Polonius gives generic advice to multiple characters, which winds out being terrible every time. The people who do this usually do not follow the advice they dish out. Similar to, but not the same as, being "patronizing" to someone. As a verb, "Polonize".

A: "Remember, a penny saved is a penny earned!"
B: "Dude, you asked me for 5$ last week which you still have not paid back. You have no right to be so polonizing."
