Snollygoster is defined as a politician who is interested in personal gain of wealth and not in helping the voters who have elected him.
It is also the name given to a mythic monster which is found in Maryland and eats children. So indirectly the word Snollygoster is used for a political monster who is attacking the voters and comforting himself. It can also be used to describe an unprincipled or shrewd person.
