Nancy,
The nude photo analogy might have been the first thought most people had of Fuhrman “exposing himself” on the McKinny tapes. However Fuhrman PLANNED to be famous. He worked at it. He prepared for it. That puts things in a different light.
IFuhrman had three exceptionally weak points and four exceptionally strong ones that you have to take into account when you try to get inside of his head.
Weak point 1: He was a hard-core racist…. Bad politics.
Weak point 2: He left a paper trail documenting the kind of cop he really was.
Weak point 3: He had an impulse control defect. He talked too much and showed his violent emotions in front of the wrong people at the wrong times. He couldn’t resist letting someone know about all the clever and daring things he did and exaggerating his importance in big events that he had little or nothing to do with.
Strong point 1: He anticipated problems and figured them into his complex planning (the more complicated the better).
Strong point 2: He knew how to form powerful networks of helpers. An unknown portion of his paper trail mysteriously disappeared when an unknown portion of his LAPD records were purged. He couldn’t manage everything that was left but he could do well enough to satisfy most people.
Strong point 3: He was a consummate liar. He mixed fact with fiction seamlessly and invented dialogue for others that nobody questioned. He invented witnesses who would not or could not dispute him. He kept his stories flexible. If one story didn’t fly he had another one on the runway revved up and ready to take off.
Strong point 4: Like television’s Lt. Colombo, he recognized his weaknesses and turn them to his advantage. If his racism were exposed, he had a way out with the black, Hispanic and Jewish “friends” he cultivated and the tall tales he was known for telling. He was such a braggart that people tended to underestimate his true capabilities and discount is inevitable incriminating slips as “mere talk.” –Jasper
