third rail 

A dangerous area of discussion, a point at which the mere mention of a subject result is disaster. Commonly used in politics.
"Social security is the third rail of politics. Step on it and you're dead."
-The West Wing

rubber wheel on the third rail 

1. Totally clueless. 2. Willfully and proudly ignorant. 3. Out of touch with reality.
"His entire life, especially in public office, with a record of bad decisions, inability to form coherent unscripted sentences, coupled with that self-satisfied smirk, all prove he's usung a rubber wheel on the third rail."
A protective barrier with rails that is worn or set up to prevent a retard from injurying himself or anyone around him. Comparable to the bubble boy suit or also a fence for cattle
Person 1: Bobby just ran into that lady!
Person 2: It's all good, Bobby was wearing his tardrail
Person 1: Was it padded?
Person 2: No shit it was padded! That's why its a tardrail!
