I'm not saying that ATC didn't have a problem, but by the same token, it
is also unacceptable for the pilot to continue to his destination after he
declared an emergency to avoid the delays and hassles of diverting to a
closer airport.

He was over Bonham VOR, 81 miles out probably descending through about
13,000 - 15,000 ft msl traveling 4-5 miles/minute. Where would you land?
What were the weather conditions?
