To critics, President Bush's address to the nation on September 13th made little news other than the expected request for more time in Iraq. To supporters, the address was an important affirmation of a strategy that is working.

But in at least one sense, the speech was groundbreaking. FishbowlDC points out the speech was the first presidential address broadcast in high definition. Turns out the feed had a bit of a problem, though, and it was only because HDNews subscribed to NBC's pool feed and plugged directly into the pool drop at the White House that the event was recorded for posterity.

A cool "did you know," maybe, but we doubt the fact the speech was in high-def will end up as a chapter in Mr. Bush's autobiography.
