"But they were Men, with feet of clay, just like any one of us."

"A tad bit harsh in your assessment, methinks. Sure, they had their faults and vices, but feet of clay? I think not."

Delude yourself. Humans are not perfect, we all have "feet of clay". To insist that isn't the case is to lie to one's self.

Naw. Being human and imperfect doesn't mean that you have feet of clay. A person who has feet of clay basically lacks moral courage of conviction. It doesn't mean that they don't make mistakes or that they don't have vices. If George Washington had feet of clay, the U.S. would still be a part of the British Empire.
