Democracy in HD

As has been the case for the last few years, the major broadcast networks and HDNet presented President George W. Bush's State of the Union address to Congress in high-definition, a plus to some of our lawmakers and other government officials (Nancy Pelosi and Laura Bush both look good in HD, although the first female speaker of the House made funny faces during most of Bush's speech) but a drawback for others (Ted Kennedy can't really look like that, can he?).
