Sure, but my point was that Ford's ego makes him incapable of low-key behavior even when it's genuinely in his best interests. Whether it's being conciliatory with an aggrieved colleague (or even just displaying the basic common politeness you'd expect from another adult human being), or laying low when he's supposed to be out of the public eye, and the latter for purely self-serving reasons, at that. We all know the whole rehab stunt is nothing but a sham, but it would have been better served if His Oafship had simply kept himself to himself as the plan (such as it is) required. The entire scam hinges on his so-called recovery, but he just can't resist making multiple public appearances, which makes the exercise look ridiculous. The stupid bastard couldn't be more painfully transparent.
With a professional con artist, one who knows what he's doing, you'll never even realize you've been scammed. The Ford family seems to be filled to overflowing with grifters, but their arrogance and collective ego and sense of entitlement means that they have to draw attention to themselves. This hubris may well be their undoing.
Yup. And as for the dissenters: "Who are ya gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes?" Like some arrogant boy who can't keep the smirk off his face as he claims to teacher that the dog ate his homework.
I think that's pretty much guaranteed.
