Perhaps the walkout was in protest to Bush's parameters for meeting with the 9/11 commission. Things are tightly sealed, not allowed to be recorded or be made official, is done in tandem with Cheney and there is a requirement that the 9/11 commission can NEVER call Bush back for testimony.
Not to mention how long it took the 9/11 commission to get even THAT out of him.

The "testimony" was already worthless and the way Bush is doing is was wasting THEIR time, so they go and do something else.
They respect the office of the Presidency, but when the man who holds that office shows no respect to the commission, why should they cow-tow to him and help him make himself look good by "testifying"?
