Aaron Sorkin, notorious Internet-hater, joins Twitter!

Aaron Sorkin joined Twitter five days ago, but because joining Twitter does not seem like a thing the real Aaron Sorkin, notorious hater of the Internet, would do, no one paid much attention. Sorkin tweeted twice — once, tweeting a picture of himself, another time, tweeting to “The West Wing’s” Richard Schiff — and then he went silent. But today, prolific tweeter Joshua Malina, who played Will Bailey on later seasons of ‘The West Wing” and is currently on ABC’s “Scandal,” testified that @aaronsorkin was the real Aaron Sorkin. (Even more convincingly, Malina’s next tweet was all about how Aaron Sorkin doesn't know how to use Twitter: “Josh: Follow me, for fuck's sake. Aaron: As soon as someone teaches me how to do that I will. Josh: Consult an underling. Aaron: I'm on it.") Sorkin’s publicist followed up with a confirmation. That twice-tweeting guy using @aaronsorkin's handle is really Aaron Sorkin. Amazing.
