All Greenspan, all the time

Bloomberg News sure is flooding the zone with coverage of Alan Greenspan's new book and, seemingly, his every totemic utterance:

Greenspan's Miscues Haunt Bernanke as Fed Weighs Rate Cut
By Rich Miller
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke is grappling with what predecessor Alan Greenspan might call a conundrum.
Greenspan Memoir a Gift for Democrats, Grenade for Republicans
By Matthew Benjamin

Greenspan Says China Will Determine World Economic Fate in 2030
By Scott Lanman

Greenspan Feared Nuclear Attack, Poisoned Water After Sept. 11
By Vivien Lou Chen
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan feared a nuclear attack and poisoned reservoirs after Sept. 11, 2001, before he privately endorsed spending of $100 billion to revive the U.S. economy.
Greenspan Says U.S. House Prices to Drop More; Economy Can Cope
By Vivien Lou Chen
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said in an interview with CBS Corp.'s "60 Minutes'' that the U.S. economy will probably be able to cope with continued declines in home values.

But it's not just Bloomberg. The Oracle is also on the cover of Newsweek, is featured in a huge above-the-fold spread in today's FT, and yucked it up with NBC's Matt Lauer this morning (apparently, they talked about Greenspan's habit of thinking while in the bathtub). I wonder how current Fed chairman Ben Bernanke feels about all this?
