A bit out of context but fitting,  Think little Joey. 

&#039;An arrogant, incompetent prick&#039;. &#039;Arrogance and self-centredness invariably mask insecurity and incompetence.&#039;

Our own little asshole will be the first to jump ship after he totally screws up. 

Everyone got a life jacket?]]></description>

Don&#039;t misunderstand Crozza - some members of the audience were laughing but he, in his comicity, was dead serious.  

At one point he did actually point out that there was nothing funny and that the situation was, to say the least, pathetic.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I agree that Crozza poking fun at the situation is in bad taste. 

There are people out there still hoping that members of their family gone missing somehow resurface. 

As to Schettino, he is obviously another arrogant incompetent prick. Apparently he was known to be very full of himself. He always insisted on taking vessels close to shore to salute &quot;islands&quot; and their residents, surrounded himself with Romanian women and bragged that he was the best commander Costa had. 

From interviews I&#039;ve seen on Italian TV, Neapolitans from his village seem to believe that he&#039;s God&#039;s gift to seafaring. 

This goes to further confirm my firm belief that arrogance and self-centredness invariably mask insecurity and incompetence. 

It is only a question of time before the true nature of the individual comes out. 

Unfortunately, in this case  it took a capsized ship to find out that Commandante Schettino is afraid of the dark.]]></description>
