I'm betting on something like "These poltroons need a good ass-kicking. I'd best get started..."

Consider this TR quote, and just how different a person it suggests he was, compared to that gaggle of self-absorbed pinheads:

"Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance."
