One of the writers of the famed “Festivus” episode of “Seinfeld” isn’t too happy Sen. Rand Paul used the holiday to tweet a rant against Washington.


Airing his own grievance on Tuesday, writer Dan O’Keefe, took a swipe at the Republican senator from Kentucky.


“When [Sen.] Rand Paul tries to seem relevant with 15-year-old pop cultural references it reminds me of when Bob Hope used to dress up as the Fonz, but that’s just me,” O’Keefe said on CNN’s “New Day,”citing another 1990s program, “Frasier.”


In celebration of “Festivus” on Monday, Paul took to Twitter to complain[1] about a variety of issues from the budget deal to the Senate cafeteria’s dining options.


O’Keefe’s comments came at the end of a segment in which he explained the origins of the episode’s plot and one of the program’s lasting pop culture moments.
