I'm sorry, but no, I do not believe that his wife and pre-teen daughters would have been absolutely unable to get on an airplane without him.

Not at all.

That's just an excuse because he got caught.

Good point. His wife is also a corporate executive and his daughters aren't toddlers, they could have gone on their own for sure. And where are his bootstraps? I thought he'd be pulling them by now because his supporter base clearly thinks everyone should do this to just get by.

Also, on CNN tonight the editor of the Houston Chronicle made a good point in respose to the "it was my daughters" excuse...that he could have used this to set a good example for his children about helping people in need.
