Has Fred made any specific comment on Eliot Spitzer’s licenses for illegals?

I’m going to post this on the FRead thread unless jellybean beats me to it. Fred is going to be interviewed on Meet the Press on November 4th, for almost the full hour. A meet the candidate interview, the only other Republican so far is McCain.
