Shelby was probably Clinton's worst enemy in the Senate. What are you talking about?

Shelby was one of the first Senators to break against impeachment and he did so in a public way in early February of 1999.

He went on the Sunday morning talk show "This Week" and said that there were 10 to 15 Republican senators who would vote no on the perjury article.

It was a BS statement, and it had the potential of swaying other Republican senators to not vote for the article.

It was a "push" statement, I'll never forget it -- it's what I'm talking about.
