SAN DIEGO — Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele canceled a highly anticipated appearance before a group of journalists scheduled for Friday afternoon in downtown San Diego.

Steele could not make the talk because of a case of food poisoning, according to the National Association of Black Journalists.

NABJ officials said they learned Friday morning that Steele fell ill while traveling to the event.

They quoted a statement from the RNC that said Steele “is disappointed to miss the opportunity to take part in this valuable dialogue and looks forward to engaging with NABJ in the very near future.”

The association had planned to host him at its annual convention at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in a session with NABJ Secretary and journalist Roland Martin, titled “Life, Liberty and Legacy.”

8. How is it all these rich fuckers keep getting botulism?

I guarantee I've eaten worse food and am at higher risk, and I've only suffered food poisoning once (bad can of red bean paste. Exquisite, blinding agony. Quite the evening!) but these dudes, it keeps happening to them.

They must have started deregulation in the kitchen, I suppose.
