And so began a Twitter battle between Michelle Malkin and Senator Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) He, of course, pointedly avoided answering her questions.

GOP Senator Spars With Michelle Malkin On ‘Obamacare’ http://t.co/Q13gdRVO via @TPM

The brouhaha started when Senator Blunt sort of responded to Michelle’s blog post about Republicans who’ve caved to the massive Obamacare:

GOP Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, vice chair of the Senate GOP Conference, told a St. Louis radio station two weeks ago that he supports keeping at least three Obamacare regulatory pillars: federally imposed coverage of “children” up to age 26 on their parents’ health insurance policies (the infamous, unfunded “slacker mandate”), federally mandated coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions (“guaranteed issue,” which turns the very concept of insurance on its head and leads to an adverse-selection death spiral) and closure of the coverage gap in the massive Bush-backed Medicare drug entitlement (the “donut hole fix” that will obliterate the program’s cost-controls)…Some Republicans are even trying to out-Obama Obamacare.

Unbelievable. Conservatives really do need to fight like girls when those elected to represent us need mommy to give them a time-out.

The senator pulled an Obama and proceeded to “be clear.”

.@michellemalkin To be clear, I’ve long supported the full repeal of #ObamaCare & replacing with common-sense health care solutions.

Only, not so clear. That was all Senator Blunt had to say about it. Twitchy’s own Michelle persisted in attempting to get a straight answer from the hedging politician and refused to let him get away with such nonsense.

.@RoyBlunt So you are for "guaranteeing access to fair and affordable care for all Americans." How? Who pays? Not spelled out.
