    Hi Mr. President. I think you'll find you're the only person in the civilized world who doesn't understand that it's sexual assault when you engage in prolonged violence for sexual gratification against a victim who is verbally and physically objecting and trying to escape, and you eventually have to be pulled off by someone who overhears the assault and comes to rescue your victim.
