Looks Like "FemDomDem" and "ObamaGirlSeeksPissSlave" Aren't Going to Get Those Ambassadorships

Eli linked to this NYT story in today's Morning News, but I wanted to comment. To get a job with the Obama administration, applicants have a fill out a six page form and answer questions about their finances, their spouses, their children, their professional lives, their diaries, their traffic tickets, any embarrassing emails they might have sent (!), and on and on and on. But this detail leapt out at me:

The application also asks applicants to "please list all aliases or 'handles' you have used to communicate on the Internet."

All aliases you've used to communicate on the Internet? It's hard not to interpret this an attempt to pry into the private sexual conduct of applicants for positions in the Obama administration. Are applicants expected to cough up their AdultFriendFinder aliases? Their ManHunt aliases? Their CL aliases? Their Slave4Master aliases? Remember when Dems were generally opposed to invading people's sex lives? Remember when Dems thought Bill Clinton's adulterous Oval-Office blowjobs were a private matter?
