Rand Paul's annual airing of grievances Wednesday to mark the fictional holiday of Festivus took on the tone of the Republican presidential race.

In taking a shot at Senate colleague and presidential rival Marco Rubio, Paul referred to the Florida senator's missed votes while he has been on the campaign trail.

Advertisement to my absentee friend @marcorubio, I didn't put your $170k+ salary in my waste report today. But I could have #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015





Paul began his "Seinfeld"-inspired airing by addressing Donald Trump's use of the term "schlonging" this week.

Where to start but @realDonaldTrump. If u bring the Yiddish, know what it means. Guess that's more of a kvetch than a grievance #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015





He also took a shot at Trump's line of ties:

After the debates, @realDonaldTrump always trying to give us parting gifts of his made in China ties. Weird. #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015





He threw some light shade on Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's country of birth (Canada):

My friend @tedcruz has still not pledged to issue exec order declaring Canadian "bacon" is not real bacon. Makes me suspicious. #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015





Carson drew little from Paul, he tweeted, simply because he could not hear the soft-spoken retired neurosurgeon during the debates:

I have no grievances against my fellow doc @RealBenCarson because I have not heard a word he has said in any debate. #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015





Jeb Bush drew some flak for his debate idiosyncracies as well:

.@JebBush is always trying to change the debate rules to allow extra time for awkward pauses in answers. Not gonna happen. #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015





Paul then went after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's justification of his lifelong Dallas Cowboys fandom:



I think I speak for all in NJ when I say @GovChristie I don't care how much $ u spend at Met Life, Cowboys fans should stay out. #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015





On the other side of the aisle, Paul referred to Sanders as "my comrade," alluding to the Vermont senator and presidential candidate who calls himself a democratic socialist:



to my comrade @SenSanders: Unless you're Santa Claus, Socialism runs out of other people's money #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015





And while he did not at first directly address Hillary Clinton or her bathroom break during last Saturday's debate, he did remark that Carly Fiorina, the only other woman running for president in either party, had no problem making it back to the stage on time after a commercial break:







"Be back soon to take on Washington, waste, and any other topic that deserves grievances! Air yours too! #Festivus" he encouraged his followers.

Paul resumed his airing of grievances later in the afternoon, going after Clinton this time, referring to GQ magazine's ranking of her Wednesday as the fifth-worst person of 2015:



.@GQMagazine today names @HillaryClinton the 5th worst person in the world. She should try harder next year. Aim for the top! #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015





I promise not use any Yiddish while airing grievances at @HillaryClinton #Festivus #AiringofGrievances — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015





He also saved some Festivus cheer for the president.

Can't forget @barackobama today. He gets 2 play WAY more golf than me & he doesn't have 2 go through TSA lines #Festivus #AiringofGrievances — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015
