From the Washington Post:

We knew ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff struggled with his weight. Now we

know one reason why -- the poor guy never found the right diet. During

one of his thin periods a few years back, he told a reporter friend of

ours that he'd tried an all-sushi diet. (Is that kosher? Not the ebi

..) Worked great -- the pounds fell off -- until his doctor discovered

the mercury levels in his blood had rocketed off the charts and he had

to give it up. A spokesman for Abramoff said he had no comment.
