a peanut politician
амер.
(a peanut (или two-bit) politician)
мелкий политикан

Pimps, gamblers and red-nosed bums; peanut politicians, pugilists in sweaters; tinhorn sports and tall longshoremen in overalls. An endless pageant of East Side life passed through the wicker doors of Jake Wolf's saloon. (M. Gold, ‘Jews without Money’, ch. 1) — Сутенеры, шулеры и красноносые босяки, мелкие политиканы, боксеры в свитерах, стиляги и высоченные грузчики в спецовках. Бурливым, нескончаемым потоком вливался Ист-Сайд в распахнутые двери кабачка Джека Вулфа.
