"He used an escort service quite often, nine or 10 times," said the source. "They hooked up...

I hope I can do this, and I hope our Mods will give me a little latitude with this request if it is too far out of line. I tried and tried to find the right, and some really good pictures I would like to have for an article. I hope some of you can help. It is amazing how all the "bad" pictures for liberal protestors and unruly Obama mobs/supporters are being removed from many of the search engines. I need some of them for my article. So I hope some of you have them and can forward me...
