But now the Texas gold-standard crusader who wants to abolish the Fed entirely -- or, at the very least, perform a public, full-body-cavity search on the bank -- will, with the Republican House victory, become chairman of the subcommittee that overseas domestic monetary policy.
This is the equivalent of putting Col. Sanders in charge of enhancing the longevity of all the chickens in Delaware.
Rep. Paul will have a family friend and ally -- his son, Rand Paul of Kentucky -- running loose on the Senate side, where he will join senators such as Tea-publican DeMint of South Carolina and Socialist Bernie Sanders of Vermont in demanding a Fed audit.

Elsewhere, in the new GOP-led House, expect California Rep. Darrell Issa -- man of a thousand subpoenas -- to continue his feud with the Fed, which began last year when the bank refused to turn over documents pertaining to its actions in bailing out the massive insurance company AIG.
