Bush, Chertoff chafe over ignored evacuation orders
WASHINGTON — Exasperated federal officials on Saturday promised to try to rescue Texas Gulf Coast residents who defied hurricane evacuation orders, but warned that the far-flung task remained dangerous and time-consuming.
President Bush, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Federal Emergency Management Administration Director David Paulison all pointed in frustration to the decision by a number of Texans to ride out Hurricane Ike in their homes only to appeal for help after the storm swept inland, leaving them stranded in high water or debris.
At the same time federal officials were lecturing locals on the consequences of their actions, the two men campaigning for president sent their sympathies to the state's victims and promised relief assistance.

I think everybody knows what kind of decision they made. They should just publicly STFU and fly off to Wasilla and make sure the
Russians aren't attacking. Bush might be able to burnish his foreign policy credentials there.:rant:
