Rand Paul has a lot of grievances to share with us.

The GOP presidential candidate on Wednesday again celebrated the comic "holiday" of Festivus, made famous by a 1997 episode of Seinfeld, by launching the traditional "airing of grievances" on Twitter.

Paul performed a similar tweet storm on December 23, 2014. But this time, he launched some zingers at his presidential rivals.

He took aim at Donald Trump's recent use of the Yiddish-derived word "schlonged," which the GOP frontrunner insists is not "vulgar."

1. Well it (schlonged) is not vulgar as in common usage

He may be the only person to ever say that word.

Now, its root is a noun and many would consider it to be vulgar as "making explicit and offensive reference to sex or bodily functions; coarse and rude : a vulgar joke." But everything that comes out of tRump's mouth is "lacking sophistication or good taste; unrefined : the vulgar trappings of wealth."

2. Some of these are actually funny.

My friend @tedcruz has still not pledged to issue exec order declaring Canadian "bacon" is not real bacon. Makes me suspicious. #Festivus

He at least appears to have a sense of humor.

3. Rand Paul

isn't the worst person on the planet, seriously misguided about leadership and political fact, but he can be funny and show a sense of humor. He just doesn't belong in any public office.
