http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonah "...A long-established expression among sailors uses the term "a Jonah" as meaning a person (either a sailor or a passenger) whose presence on board brings bad luck and endangers the ship. This presumably arose from Christian sailors taking the Biblical story at face value. Later on, this meaning was extended to "a Jonah" referring to "a person who carries a jinx, one who will bring bad luck to any enterprise"..." Interesting.....he's a jinx. At least some of that is because he or his assistants are not doing their homework. (edit) His single biggest fault, IMO, is his complete inability to believe that any of his opinions are wrong. Now that's starting to sound like a Cheney.
