ABRAMOFF's First Campaign Finance Scandal was in HIGH SCHOOL!
Steven Herbert, a freelance journalist who writes for The Times' sports section and attended the same schools a year behind Abramoff, recalled an early setback for Abramoff. He ran for student council president at the Hawthorne School, a Beverly Hills elementary and middle school, in 1972. Heading into a runoff election, Abramoff was disqualified for exceeding the spending limit. The principal, Herbert recalled, penalized Abramoff for holding a party, stating it amounted to a campaign expenditure that pushed him over the limit.

8. Evidently, he's unconstrained by conscience.
Cheating seems to be second nature to him--a dangerously flawed human.
