I could understand all the cries of 'hypocrisy' if this character's schtick was all about 'family values', but I don't see how someone going after white-colour crime then engaging a prostitute makes him any more of a hypocrite than most of the rest of us ... I mean, if an off-duty cop gets caught speeding, do we call him a hypocrite for trying to jail murderers?

No doubt I'm missing something - as I say, I haven't been following the politics of NY ...
