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.

To reverse one's position in an issue in an attempt to pander. To flip-flop.
He palinized his position on living wills and health care directives. Like Sarah Palin, he was for living wills before he was against them.

Spinning any criticism of oneself into persecution.
Rather than accept responsibility for her bad behavior, Sarah would always palinize the situation and portray herself as being a victim of people who didn't like her.
