One concept not discussed is that of Dina De Malchutei Dina, meaning that a law that doesn't contradict the Torah is to be considered binding. Jewish law does not require one to patronize prostitutes, thus when Spitzer used the services of prostitutes, he not only violated Federal and State laws but he also violated Jewish law. The only hypocrisy here is Spitzer's.
