Well you can point that out as being an example of hypocrisy, but it still wouldn't disprove his moral theories (whatever they may be - I didn't rally look into much of Russell's philosophy) per se. But then, it is nonetheless good to question their integrity since they are human beings like us commoners - obviously.
