Michael Vick is at it again. This time his target is Congress. The Falcons quarterback was scheduled to lobby on Capitol Hill, hoping to persuade lawmakers to increase funding for after-school programs. But Vick missed a connecting flight in Atlanta and failed to show for his Tuesday morning appearance.
Vick's publicist, Susan Bass, said it wasn't his fault. The AirTran flight was late leaving Tampa, Vick missed his connection and wound up stuck in Atlanta, Bass said.
"He was really mad," Bass said.
AirTran, which has an endorsement deal with Vick, gave a different account of Vick's travel arrangements. While acknowledging that the flight from Florida was late getting into Atlanta, causing him to miss his 8:35 p.m. connection, airline spokesman Tad Hutcheson said the player was booked on a 10:50 p.m. flight.
Vick failed to show and the flight left Atlanta with about 20 empty seats, Hutcheson said.
What a class act this guy is.
