The snappy New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd went on the record this week, answering those who asked her recently about whether she and 'West Wing' creator Aaron Sorkin are an item.Said the redhead: 'I never talk about my personal life. I dont even discuss it with the person I am dating.'But this is nothing new.Maureen has been giving me this feint for the last two years as I asked her this same question with regularity.For your info, I think the answer is yes. They are an item.
