Two senators from the opposite ends of the political spectrum are aiming to find some common ground in 2014 over the issue of the so-called drug war.
Conservative Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and liberal Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., connected last week via Twitter, after Paul began airing his grievances to commemorate Festivus, the fake holiday popularized by the sitcom "Seinfeld” in the late 1990s.
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
After Paul wrote that Booker “doesn’t RT me enough,” the Democrat referenced another Festivus tradition, responding, “U, me & "feats of strength:" Senate floor, name the time.”
That prompted Paul to respond more seriously, “how about mandatory minimum sentencing reform instead?” Booker then suggested they “throw in reforming Fed Hemp & Marijuana laws.”
