Senator-elect Rand Paul will be rooming with his father, Texas Rep. Ron Paul (recently named chairman of the House subcommittee on domestic monetary policy) in his Virginia condo while serving on Capitol Hill next.

The jokes about “moving in with dad” are already making the rounds. As Roll Call's Heard on the Hill reported, Paul the younger quipped: “I think it took my dad by surprise when his 47-year-old called to move back in.”

Meanwhile, Paul told the New York Times that his son shouldn’t look forward to any favors while bunking with dad: “I told him as long as he didn’t expect me to cook,” the elder Mr. Paul said. “I’m not going to take care of him the way his mother did.”

All the ingredients for a libertarian family sitcom in the making.
