The only thing that Castro needs to do in order to completely cut Jeb Bush down is to start pushing children about on the playground.
Gov. Jeb Bush said Tuesday that he was ''honored'' Cuban President Fidel Castro had referred to him as President Bush's ``fat little brother in Florida.''
Castro made the comment while wondering if the governor had helped a suspected anti-Cuba terrorist enter the United States in a Nov. 17 speech at the University of Havana. Students responded with laughter.
''I'm flattered and honored,'' Bush said with a smile, but then turned serious.
``I will take any criticism from Fidel Castro, of all people, as an honor given the fact that, you know, eight million people, I believe, live on the island, eight million people are repressed and they've been that way for 40 or 50 years.
''To be criticized by a man like that who has repressed people for such an extended period of time is a high honor,'' Bush added. ``He can call me whatever he wants.''
In his speech, Castro said his comment was intended as constructive criticism.
