Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud the Senate for approving Christopher Wray as the new FBI director with virtually no drama. They also discuss Rep. Mike McCaul's reluctance to be considered to lead the Department of Homeland Security. While many border security advocates are not fans of McCaul, Jim wonders whether Trump's public criticisms of administration figures will convince qualified people to pass on chances to serve. And Jim and Greg react as you might expect after the author of a Washington Post opinion piece slams President Trump for his use of the term "paddy wagon" in a speech," claiming it is a slur against the Irish that should not be part of civil discourse.

My father, who was one-fourth Irish and a policeman for decades referred to that vehicle as the Paddy wagon. One word to describe the problem here: academics.
