Bush-Clinton Debate Nixed Over Hype

George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have canceled their debate—which was scheduled for February of next year at Radio City Music Hall—just a day after the event was announced. Why? The promoter “overhyped” the event. Perhaps it was their billing as “ The Hottest Ticket in Political History,” or the declaration that the debate would be "uncensored, unedited, and unpredictable" that cheesed off the former presidents. A Clinton spokesman had said they’d planned “just a moderated conversation... no fireworks.”
