The worst line of the night - What was the speechwriter thinking? "Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing an engine. It may feel like you're flying high at first, but it won't take long before you feel the impact."

I'm sure they meant the resulting drop in velocity or performance but if somebody threw "impact" into a plane metaphor, they'd be taken aside by the TSA.
