fare thee not well

I'm sure this is all over everywhere, but I'll report it again - an Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at President Bush and called him a 'dog' during a news conference in Iraq. As the BBC notes:

Correspondents called it a symbolic incident. Iraqis threw shoes and used them to beat Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad after his overthrow.

As with many countries, in Iraq the soles of the feet are considered the lowest form of insult.

And, as with all things Bush-y... he din't git it.

According to a follow-up article, what he yelled when he threw the shoes was "This is a farewell kiss, you dog. This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq." I wonder if the translator told him what was said...?
