In a series of tweets this morning, Sen. Rand Paul celebrated Festivus by airing his grievances against Washington.
First up: “In Washington, ‘bipartisan deal’ is a synonym for ‘increasing our debt’.” Then: “Let’s move on to the Senate. If you want more bipartisan cooperation, talk more not less.”
The Kentucky Republican even got freshman New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker involved:
One more Festivus grievance about bipartisanship. @CoryBooker doesn’t RT me enough.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
To which Booker replied:
U, me & “feats of strength:” Senate floor, name the time MT @SenRandPaul A Festivus grievance re bipartisanship. Booker doesn’t RT me enough
— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) December 23, 2013
Read it all.
Note: For those of you who’ve never watched “Seinfeld,” Festivus is meant to be a secular alternative to the pressures and commercialization of Christmas. It’s celebrated on Dec. 23.
