Retrospect can sully many things.

How many people would completely dismiss every achievement of - say - JFK, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, and Nelson Mandela upon learning that these people were not 100% saintlike?

(OK. I think Mother Theresa might now actually be a saint, but she could also be an egocentric bitch, apparently.)

I still feel a great deal of cognitive dissonance when listening to episodes in which Clement features. There's no denying his place in the annals of JAM history as a player -- despite what an awful and vile man he turned out to be in the end. That being said, there are definitely some moments that feature jokes that no longer sit well with me, and I find extremely disquieting. One that I unfortunately listened to recently was an episode from the early to mid 2000s that featured a joke about the proclivities of Lewis Carroll and J.M. Barry, wherein Linda Smith remarked, "Well Clement, you're going to have to change your entry in your Eye-Spy Book Of Victorian Pedophiles." *shudder*.....
