New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker joined in on Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul's annual 'airing of the grievances' on Twitter this year, playfully suggesting that the Republican lawmaker shed his curly locks ahead of his probable presidential campaign. Paul, a likely but unconfirmed White House contender, was sending the tweets as part of the fictional 'Festivus' holiday, made popular in the 1990s 'Seinfeld' sitcom when he teased Democrat Booker for not retweeting him more often. Booker responded in kind and said he had only one grievance for his colleague in the Senate. 'SHAVE YOUR HEAD. Those curls are offensive. Plus If running for a higher office u'll be far more aerodynamic,' he joked.
