I haven't seen squat about this guy in the media or anywhere else, including RPF. Anybody have any juicy info on him? Here's a msm piece to get us started, which of course contains nothing whatsoever of substance.

It was happy trails for Rahm Emanuel, now former White House Chief of Staff, as he left the White House Friday for a mayoral bid in Chicago. He even got a dead fish from Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors Austan Goolsbee as a going away present; according to Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, that's "how friends say goodbye" in Chicago.
Replacing Emanuel in the interim is trusted Obama adviser Pete Rouse. Few outside Washington know much about the quite insider, and while he may in many ways be the polar opposite of the brash Emanuel, he's just as savvy and connected.
On Friday's Washington Unplugged, Politics Daily and Chicago Sun Times' Lynn Sweet told CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante, "They're opposite in personality but they both have a, I think, a pragmatic devotion to doing the doable. That's what they have in common."
Sweet said that Emanuel might not be as "outspoken" as he's widely thought to be; perhaps, she added, he might even be a little misunderstood. Plante noted that Emanuel was not thought to be as bullish on health-care reform as the rest of the White House; and Sweet responded that "he put his personal views, of which he has many, aside to carry out Obama's agenda."
