"Three bricks shy of a load"

"N bricks shy of a load"

Definition:

Mentally impaired, either unintelligent or merely eccentric. For example, He may be handsome but he's not too bright--a few bricks shy of a load. This term, transferring a light load to lightweight mental capacity, is usually preceded by either a few or a specific number such as two.

The definition fits the Teabaggers perfectly.... especially when you consider this story:

We've always known that the Teabaggers were a few bricks shy of a load.... now we know what happened to those bricks.

2. In carpentry, the term is "half a bubble off".
Refers to the bubble in a level.
