Cory Booker Has a Grievance of His Own for Rand Paul

Republican Rand Paul and Democrat Cory Booker are ideological opponents, but they’ve become pretty strong allies on criminal justice reform. And now they appear to be at the point of their relationship where they can joke with each other on Twitter.

Case in point, yesterday when Paul aired his grievances in honor of Festivus, and gave a shoutout to Booker:

Last year in the spirit of #Festivus, I reached out to @CoryBooker complaining he didn't RT me enough. He still doesn't by the way. But…

We discussed hemp, med marijuana, crim justice reform. Some of that has now passed, all of it we've worked on together this year #Festivus

My grievance there though remains the same. Not enough looking for agreement in Washington. @CoryBooker and I will keep trying.#Festivus

Booker took notice, and––being a prolific tweeter himself––responded in kind, sending Paul a grievance of his own:

.@SenRandPaul 1 grievance 4 U. SHAVE YOUR HEAD. Those curls are offensive. Plus If running for a higher office u'll be far more aerodynamic.

@CoryBooker I move efficiently enough as it is but thanks for the advice. Let's just keep pulling off our own looks!

Deal. RT @SenRandPaul I move efficiently enough as it is but thanks for the advice. Let's just keep pulling off our own looks!

— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) December 24, 2014

Booker sent out a few other tweets Paul’s way, in the name of bipartisanship, and also tweeted at John Stamos, for some reason:

#AiringOfGrievances @JohnStamos – how dare u continue to mock me & others of the hair-impaired community with ur luscious mane! #unclejesse
