Hey Red, hand me that small bug bomb,
you know, the petitefogger!
Rooster Cogburn : Judge Parker. Old carpetbagger, but he knows his rats! We had a good court going on here ‘til them pettifogging lawyers moved in!
After eight years of the pettifogger we finally have a real president.
Pettifogger: Also known as Shyster. Also known as Corporate Council for CNN

I love the way “pettifogger” just slowly rolls off the tongue. Very mellifluous (except maybe for the hard “g”).
The first definition of “Pettifogger” in the dictionary should be “1. Noun. Democrat.”
Makes me think of foggybottom.
Let’s get all of those pettifoggers out of Congress!
When one gets a Traffic Ticket in Florida, one’s mailbox becomes a target for every pettifogger and shyster who peruse the police reports daily.
Not really archaic. Or if it is, it shouldn’t be.
Pettifoggery is alive and well in our halls of power.
Our ever-increasingly litigious society brings out many a pettifogger, enjoying pâté de foie gras at the expense of their clients and insurance companies – whoever has the deepest pockets…
The word of the day, as it is every day, is legs. Spread the word. lol
“The illustrious Honest Old Abe has continued during the last week to make a fool of himself and to mortify and shame the intelligent people of this great nation.
His speeches have demonstrated the fact that although originally a Herculean rail splitter and more lately a whimsical story teller and side splitter,
he is no more capable of becoming a statesman, nay, even a moderate one, than the braying ass can become a noble lion.
People now marvel how it came to pass that Mr. Lincoln should have been selected as the representative man of any party.
His weak, wishy-washy, namby-pamby efforts, imbecile in matter, disgusting in manner, have made us the laughing stock of the whole world.
The European powers will despise us because we have no better material out of which to make a President.
The truth is, Lincoln is only a moderate lawyer and in the larger cities of the Union could pass for no more than a facetious pettifogger.
Take him from his vocation and he loses even these small characteristics and indulges in simple twaddle which would disgrace a well bred school boy.”
