Doctors at NY Presbyterian/Columbia Hospital finally revealed the true nature of Governor Pataki's health: He's ailing. Not deathbed ailing, but peritonitis, abdominal abscess and fever king of ailing and the NY Times says that Pataki's surgeons only "used the word 'peritonitis' — the name of a potentially fatal inflammation of the abdominal lining — only after being pressed repeatedly by reporters." In other TMI news, doctors "said that his bowel function was impaired but improving"... that his bowel is still in tact... and his bowel "was still not discharging waste properly." Fine - Gothamist admits we were curious about it, but we know we'll rot in hell for another day for it. Pataki's chief of staff John Cahill says he's been doing well, checking on his work via Blackberry, assuring New Yorkers that while he may not be using a toilet, but he can still poop on plans for NYC.
