Michele Bachmann Doesn’t Want To Get ‘Palinized,’ Like Sarah Palin, Get It?

Michele Bachmann has sent out a comical fundraising letter to her violent dingbat fappery of a constituency titled, “Don’t let them Palinize me!” She claims that, “With Governor Palin taking a well-deserved step out of the spotlight, it appears that I may be absorbing even more of the liberals’ scorn.” So give her more money to… not absorb that scorn! But hey wait a minute, what exactly does “Palinize” mean? Michele Bachmann actually cites an Urban Dictionary definition at the end of her letter — but she doesn’t cite all of the Urban Dictionary definitions.

Here are the definitions Bachmann provides from “the” Urban Dictionary:

From the Urban Dictionary:

Palinize:

To smear or mock someone using falsehoods, baseless accusations or unsubstantiated character assassinations for the purpose of blocking them from achieving a goal.

To exaggerate the truth or lie by omission.

To attack a person for his or her conservative values by focusing an inordinate amount of attention on a single example of that person falling short (or being perceived as falling short) of the values they espouse.

Other, less passive Urban Dictionary definitions — as in, the agent does something terrible, rather than something terrible happens to the agent — include:

  • To bluster, to speak without saying anything of substance.
  • To flub a television interview.
  • To Randomly repeat talking points regardless of the questions given to you.
  • 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.
  • When someone answers a question without any form of intelligence or foresight. In an attempt to divert from giving a correct answer and in the process sounding unintelligible.
  • The act of firing people who divorce your family members.
  • To use your publicly elected powers for evil.
  • The ability of being able to point out Real America from Fake America

    She’s already been Bachmannized– isn’t that enough?

  2. house of the blue lights says at 4:37 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I no longer find these people funny or worthy of satire. They just scare me.

  3. Buzz Feedback says at 4:39 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I think you need a good round of anal bleaching before you can be properly Palinized.

  4. stratonike says at 4:39 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Maybe she’ll be simonized too!

  5. Kathryn. says at 4:39 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Hasn’t there been a movement to attach Palin’s name to some horrible sex act a la Santorum yet? “Palinize” is too strong-sounding of a verb to use for non-sexual-deviant purposes.

  6. CrunchyKnee says at 4:40 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I Palinized my underwear. Then I Dirty Bachmaned my neighbor.

  7. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:40 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I think she meant pelletized. But that actually makes a little sense so that can’t be it.

  8. Longform says at 4:40 pm, August 13th, 2009

    The real danger is in getting Santorumed.

  9. Scruffy_The_Janitor says at 4:41 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Dont Palinize me bro!!!!!!

  10. Patty Dumpling says at 4:42 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I think she’s talking about Todd. Do not Palinize me = “Do not defeat me in a snowmobile race”.

  11. ManchuCandidate says at 4:42 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I thought she meant she didn’t want her insanity to be the basis for a porno film.

    Bukkake Bachman?
    Bachmann Humping Overdrive?

  12. Scruffy_The_Janitor says at 4:43 pm, August 13th, 2009

    “But just as they did with Sarah Palin, the more I talk about the issues, the more they attack with below-the-belt personal hits.”

    Kinky…

  13. FEMA RE-EDUCATION CAMPS! ONE WORLD CURRENCY! SHOW US THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

    I think Bachmann can Palinize herself without help from anyone else, thank you.

  14. Don Juanquete says at 4:44 pm, August 13th, 2009

    You know she really wants it. Our coy Michele is really thinking, “Bring it on! I’m the new Caribou Bach-bie!”

  15. iantenna says at 4:46 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Smoke Filled Roommate: i prefer to be bachman-turner overdrived.

  16. Prommie says at 4:47 pm, August 13th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Bachman Humping Overdrive. Thats funny. No, really, I like that, thats funny.

  17. LibertyHiller says at 4:47 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I think she’s got the second-to-last nailed.

  18. SmutBoffin says at 4:48 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Bachmenstruate (verb) - to make an idiot out of yourself and your political party on a monthly basis

  19. Bachman Fever.

    Bachman Fever.

    Going out of my mind.

    Out of my mind.

  20. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw urban dictionaries.

  21. Mapmonger says at 4:52 pm, August 13th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: “Bachmann Humping Overdrive?”

    Wonkgasm. Pure Comedy Gold.

  22. Never thought I’d see Urban Dictionary become a lightning rod for controversy like Wikipedia. Hmmm. Maybe the Republicans should set up an alternate universe “Rural Dictionary” where people define words like Palinize to describe being the victim of smear attacks, rather than the actions of the perpetrator which is the common currency here the the ‘hood.

    Also (!) the second definition given by Bachman (”To exaggerate the truth or lie by omission.”) is from the anti-Palin use of the word as evidenced by the example, “I palinized my resume.”

  23. frumious_bandersnatch says at 4:52 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Violent Dingbat Fappery is my new favorite band name.

  24. Don Juanquete says at 4:54 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Bach it 2 me baby let it all hang out.
    Bach Nekked.
    Michele does Meany-Apple-Ooze.

    Oh wait, those are porny.

  25. widget09 says at 4:56 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I’ll donate a bag of extra salty dicks to her campaign and maybe some salty balls.

  26. dijetlo says at 4:56 pm, August 13th, 2009

    To use your publicly elected powers for evil.
    That’s Chenyfication. It lacks the requisite undertones of empty headed fappitude needed to qualify as a Palin related insult, IMHO.
    also, could she have meant “palletized” as in stapled to a platform of rough boards and bound in multiple layers of shrink wrap (and if so..pics plz)

  27. pedestrian rage says at 4:57 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Bachmannizing (syn., accessorizing): the art of wearing tastefully appointed pantsuits, hand-picked by your definitely-not-gay, but runs a program to cure the homos husband (for realsies, kids!), and

    Palinizing: (syn,. accessorizing): the art of sporting your Down syndrome baby on your hip while simultaneously blasting anyone with the audacity to mention ‘lil 21st chromosome.

  28. liquiddaddy says at 4:57 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Ha ha! Her son’s a commie.

  29. Sick Puppy says at 4:57 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Why is she absorbing more of the liberal’s porn? Is she watching Nailin Palin?

  30. I saw Bachmann Palin Overdrive at a small ampitheater outside of Roanoke.

    Takin’ care of business! Everyday! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  31. Toy Needle says at 4:58 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I say put ‘em both in the death cage and see who Palinizes who.

  32. doxastic says at 4:58 pm, August 13th, 2009

    You would think that she’d want to be Palinized, what with all of the free clothes, trips, makeup ladies and babies to farm…

  33. Carrie_Okie says at 4:59 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Kathryn.: dammit I was gonna say summat to that effect. Palinized = smeared with Santorum.

  34. SayItWithWookies says at 5:00 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I thought to Palinize was to move in a spiral of increasingly whacked-out paranoid egocentric fantasies while thinking that your petty, ignorance-first parochialism qualified you for positions of great responsibility and continually deflecting legitimate criticism by twisting them into perceived slights that you manufacture overblown indignation about until the whole shebang collapses into a heap of stupid and rumormongering at a little-noticed picnic.

    Which makes it a pretty damn succinct word.

  35. Kingbee says at 5:00 pm, August 13th, 2009

    A synonym for some of those definitions would be “Swift boating”. Kiss my ass, Repubes.

  36. Joshua Norton says at 5:03 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Hmm. Palinizing sounds like something DuPont invented n 1952.

  37. Bearbloke says at 5:04 pm, August 13th, 2009

    BREAKING NEWS!!:

    Guitar-god Les Paul has been TAKEN by n0Bama’s DEATH PANEL!!!!!1!!

    Are YOU next on n0bAma’s enemy list???!1?>!

  38. Don Juanquete says at 5:05 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Darn tootin’.
    Palin’s the only Alaskan I ever knew, butcha know, she seems a little Far-gone. Ya betcha. Are we sure that Palin wasn’t Bachmannized before she was Palinized?

  39. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:07 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I thought that “to palinize” meant: “To achieve far beyond any rational level because of your own incompetence. To be promoted for no reason what soever. To be given a great prize despite being clearly unworthy of any recognition what-so-ever.”

    Example: Apparently the old, senile, cripple judge still thinks he has a shot because she tripped and fell four times on the ice, but somehow palinized the gold medal.

    I’m pretty sure there are only three definitions of “bachmannize.”

    1) To prevent intelligent conversation through a shrill whistle:

    “We were discussing the Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance when that idiot bachmannized the conversation trying to call his dog.”

    2) The willing be oblivious to reality.

    “She must have been bachmannized, as she claimed she could reverse gravity and drove over the cliff.”

    3) To arrange for a witch trial.

    “Apparently she has been bachmannized, as she keeps calling the FBI and yelling at them to investigate her neighbors because they have painted their house pink.”

  40. Gopherit says at 5:07 pm, August 13th, 2009
  41. Country Club Jihadi says at 5:09 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I rather see her pulverized and mental-hospitalized. And then vaporized.

  42. JooJoo Bee says at 5:10 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Sarah does indeed deserve to step out of the spotlight, if not off a cliff. Would that Bachmann followed suit. Not the Armani kind, though, because that would be immodest and a misuse of campaign funds.

  43. WhatTheHeck says at 5:12 pm, August 13th, 2009

    In chess, to “Palinize” means the White Ice queen gives herself over to the big, strong, Black Knight.

  44. Oldskool says at 5:14 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I would Palinize both of them since they’re reasonably hot and I have my own definition.

  45. geminisunmars says at 5:15 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I thought Palin was something one does around domestic terrorists.

    I liked Bachmenstruation, but I’m afraid she does it more than once a month. However whenever she does it, it is a bloody mess.

  46. JadedDIssonance says at 5:19 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Bachmanization is the willful act of mental self-isolation, resulting in various fanatickal fancies and farcical delusions.

  47. RushLickBall says at 5:24 pm, August 13th, 2009

    If Bachman gets Palinized, I just want to watch.

  48. lee hussein oswald says at 5:25 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I don’t Palinize little bunny rabbits!

  49. Hooray For Anything says at 5:28 pm, August 13th, 2009

    What about: “To Palinize– to claim you had your 16 year old daughter’s baby so as not to anger the religious right.

    (that rumor never gets old)

  50. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 5:29 pm, August 13th, 2009

    JadedDIssonance: Or, simply, having to navigate life’s path being Michelle Bachmann.

  51. widget09 says at 5:34 pm, August 13th, 2009

    How does the Palinization process work? Does anyone have a recipe?

  52. Kathryn. says at 5:39 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Carrie_Okie: I was going to say something along the lines of trying to talk after someone puts a dick in your mouth. Sounds come out, but no one can understand a fucking thing you’re saying (nor do they probably want to).

  53. Gopherit says at 5:40 pm, August 13th, 2009

    And I think Limbaugh just Palinized reality: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/08/limbaugh-praises-palins-intellectual-heft-on-the-death-panels.php?ref=fpb

    Who gave that fat bitch more oxy?

  54. Extemporanus says at 5:48 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I’d like to Palinize Bachmann’s eyes with my penile Ides.

    Wait, what?!

  55. Native of SL UT says at 5:50 pm, August 13th, 2009

    CrunchyKnee: Chris Hanson is at your door.

  56. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 5:54 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Extemporanus: I’d like to give her a lip plate. After awhile she’d look like the yipyip alien muppets and have to kill herself.

  57. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:55 pm, August 13th, 2009

    “Bachmannize” deserves a truly great definition. Something involving french kissing the dessicated corpse of a marmoset fetus while simulatenously being smeared with poo and Crisco.

  58. Limeylizzie says at 6:03 pm, August 13th, 2009

    CrunchyKnee: I love you..

    I’m a Bachmann door?

  61. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 6:24 pm, August 13th, 2009

    From the Urban Dictionary:

    Palinize:

    To smear or mock someone using falsehoods, baseless accusations or unsubstantiated character assassinations for the purpose of blocking them from achieving a goal.

    To exaggerate the truth or lie by omission.

    To attack a person for his or her conservative values by focusing an inordinate amount of attention on a single example of that person falling short (or being perceived as falling short) of the values they espouse.

    Well, she does do that to her opponents. All of it.

    Oh, wait, are we to assume these are things done TO yon Anger Bear?

  62. eyesfriedopen says at 6:44 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I’d like to impalinize both of them. On the same skewer.

  63. hobospacejunkie says at 6:47 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I’d prefer Bachmann take that string of pearls she’s always wearing off her neck and slowly swallow them. Then reach around & gingerly pull them out her asshole. That would be my definition of Bachmannizing.

  64. jgrn307 says at 6:47 pm, August 13th, 2009

    URBANDICTIONARY VOTE OFF, LIBTARDS GO THUMBS UP THE LIBTARD DEFS, THUMBS DOWN THE DOWN-SYNDROME LOVIN’ DEFS!!!

  65. jgrn307 says at 7:00 pm, August 13th, 2009

    palinize
    To pass on an extra 21st chromosome to your child because you are still reproducing well after you should be.
    I palinized my child and now I’m the oldest mom at the Special Olympics…

  66. aaronincus says at 7:11 pm, August 13th, 2009

    If anyone is dumberer then Palin, it’s Bachmann. Christ, she makes Palin look like a beacon of normalcy. Bachmann would benefit with her own Triggy.

  67. I’m still waiting for Michele Bachmann to be Dixie-Chicked.

    Oh wait, I’m doomed to disappointment. You have to have some discernible talent, before you can be Dixie-Chicked.

  68. lawrenceofthedesert says at 7:19 pm, August 13th, 2009

    Just as an addict’s reaction to anything is “I better do more,” an elected official’s is, “This means you better give me more money.” I used to think that no professional group could begin to rival the clergy’s obsession with money (it seems to be all they talk about), but the last decade in politics has me wondering.

  69. masterdebater says at 7:22 pm, August 13th, 2009

    I’m STILL trying to figure out if she fits in that category of, “the crazy ones are good in bed”, that my brother told me about years ago. You know, ’cause if she does, she’s got to be the best fuck on the planet…dear lord she’s whacky!

  70. Formerly Fred says at 8:20 pm, August 13th, 2009

    masterdebater:
    If at some point in the near future I became completely deaf, I’d think about doing her (then I’d gouge my eyes out).

  76. GreatOldOnesParty says at 12:13 am, August 14th, 2009

    “To smear or mock someone using falsehoods, baseless accusations or unsubstantiated character assassinations for the purpose of blocking them from achieving a goal.
    To exaggerate the truth or lie by omission.”

    You mean, like, making up shit about death panels killing our retarded children and drooling olds in order to block healthcare reform legislation?
