Sometimes it pays to be a pack rat. A reader just sent this our way:

This is a very random thing to possess, but I happen to have a copy of the resume of Joel Kaplan, Karl Rove’s replacement as deputy chief of staff for policy. I think it’s from fall 1995 or spring 1996. When he was a law student at Harvard, Joel applied to be a resident tutor in my dorm. He didn’t get the job — probably the first and last time this overachiever didn’t get something that he applied for.

Anyway, here it is (attached). It’s not terribly interesting in and of itself; it’s a pretty typical resume for a high-powered law student, which is what Joel was back then. But I’m totally holding on to it. If Joel becomes president or a Supreme Court justice someday, I can sell it on eBay to feed myself in my old age, after Social Security goes belly up.

Check out the goods, after the jump.
