palinize

To avoid giving any substantial answer to a factual question, by means of cobbling together meaningless platitudes; to attempt to fool the listeners and distract their attention by pandering to their prejudices and using one's charm or attractiveness. Inspired by the distinctive style of Alaska governor and former VP candidate Sarah Palin.

At the press conference several reporters tried to hold the Prime Minister accountable, but he just continued to palinize until they had to give up.
