HAVANA, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- While questioning whether Florida Gov. Jeb Bush helped a Cuban dissident into the country, Cuban leader Fidel Castro also ribbed Bush for being fat.

After alleging Bush might have helped Posada Carriles" class="tpstyle">Luis Posada Carriles enter the United States earlier this year, Castro also suggested the governor do a little exercise.

"Forgive me for using the term 'fat little brother'" the Miami Herald reported Castro said. "It is not a criticism, rather a suggestion that he do some exercises and go on a diet, don't you think? I'm doing this for the gentleman's health."

Governor Bush's office refused to comment on Castro's remarks.
