What's the old and wise saying?

Oh, that's right: the devil is in the details.

You'd think a nun might know of it. But not Sister Simone Campbell, reports Jack Smith of The Catholic Key Blog:

An Interfaith group called 'We Believe Together - Health Care For All' held a press conference today at the Capitol demanding Congress pass a health care bill NOW. Sister of Social Service Simone Campbell was among them. This from Catholic News Service's report on the conference:

Fear of change, Sister Simone said, is what is holding back members of Congress now. Instead of making a decision many representatives are getting confused by insignificant details, she said.

"Too often in D.C. we can get caught in the details and in the argument," she said.

Anybody with a pulse knows what those "insignificant details" are.

Smith, of course, is referring to unborn babies. Read his post for more. And marvel a bit, perhaps, at Campbell's remark, which is not just generally silly (or worse), but specifically false: if there are two things (among others) the Obama administration has not been fond of discussing publicly, they are details and arguments for and against budgets, proposals, policies, and reform/"reform." The President, as I recall, has said his administration will "make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology.” But there I go, getting caught up in details and arguments...
