English citations of palinize

to duck a question by babbling

• 2008 October 5, Georgia Logothetis, “Resurrecting The Ayers Attack: Palinizing As Campaign Strategy”, in The Daily Kos‎^[1]:

  In a string of interviews and in the much-hyped vice-presidential debate, Sarah Palin has perfected the art of palinizing. The tactic is a painfully transparent political filibuster of sorts. When Palin is presented with a question she either does not understand or that she does not want to answer truthfully, she opens her mouth and out pours a waterfall of GOP buzzwords, cascading haphazardly from her lips and leaving listeners drenched in the horrific realization that this small-town mayor turned newbie governor from Alaska is, quite simply, both an idiot and a liar.

to hype while protecting from media scrutiny

• 2008 December 23, Erin Einhorn, Kenneth Lovett, “Bloomberg Defends Caroline Kennedy as Replacement for Hillary Clinton's Senate Seat”, in US News & World Report‎^[2]:

  Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-Queens) sharpened the tone of the criticism on Sunday when he said Kennedy has been "Palin-ized" - sold as a dazzling package and protected from tough media scrutiny.

to vilify for being female and Republican

• 2009 November 20, Julia Baird, “The ‘Palinization’ Of Palin”, in Newsweek‎^[3]:

  Now an ugly new term has entered the lexicon: being Palinized, usually intended to mean being viciously attacked for being female and Republican. GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann wrote in a letter to supporters that she did not want to be "Palinized" with personal attacks or "liberals' scorn." Former beauty queen Carrie Prejean claims she has been "Palinized" by the "liberal media" for her anti-gay-marriage views. And now Palin thinks she has been Palinized by NEWSWEEK, for last week's cover image of her looking fit and posing in running shorts, even though she has been photographed and filmed more than once in aerobic gear (most recently on Oprah just a few days ago).
