Palin

To respond to a question with a random talking points having little to no bearing on the question being asked; in the style of VP candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. (also a noun describing a response like this.)

A: John McCain is a maverick, and Alaska has oil...

Me: Wow, way to Palin that question.
