the orange menace is the classic case of the peter principle..
The Peter principle is a concept in management theory formulated by educator Laurence J. Peter and published in 1969. It states that the selection of a candidate for a position is based on the candidate's performance in their current role, rather than on abilities relevant to the intended role. Thus, employees only stop being promoted once they can no longer perform effectively, and "managers rise to the level of their incompetence".

however I would like to offer a corrilary to the peter principle...
in the orange menaces case, thuggery and money have had major influence on his climb to "success".

but I am familiar with it because of John Cleese. 
In order to know how good you are at something requires exactly the same skills as it does to be good at that thing in the first place. Which means, and this is terribly funny, that if you are absolutely no good at something at all, then you lack exactly the skills you need to know that you are absolutely no good at it."In order to know how good you are at something requires exactly the same skills as it does to be good at that thing in the first place.
