Former Fed Chief Alan Greenspan has written his memoir. And in a move that was surprising to almost no-one at all, he throws the blame around everywhere. 
Alan Greenspan, age 8.
For those of you that read reviews, here's the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Greenspan criticizes the modern Republican party, including Bush and his administration, for developing tendencies towards limitless spending, regardless of the deepening deficit. But Greenspan saves the harshest criticism of all for good ol' W, and gives his honest opinion about the war in Iraq. Whether or not this is a war for oil (and disregarding the question of whether going to war for oil is morally defensible) this is a solid credibility shot by Greenspan. Call it kicking a dead horse if you want, but I like the old fella's spunk.
Of course, Alan and George the 1st weren't the best of friends; I don't imagine W and Greenspan will be sharing a cuppa anytime soon either.
THIS JUST IN: Bush Lackey Says "Nuh-uh".
ANOTHER EDIT: Greenspan says more, doesn't really clarify what he meant.
