Castro calls Fla. Gov. Bush a 'fatty'

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 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.
