Clinton, Bush Radio City debate called off

A “debate” between former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush has been nixed because the promoter overhyped it as a death-match faceoff between the men, The Post has learned.

Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna said the appearance was never slated to be a “debate” and was actually a moderated panel discussion with the 42nd and 43rd leaders of the free world.

“This event … was supposed to be a discussion between the two former presidents, and has been cancelled because it was not being billed as such by an overeager promoter,” McKenna siad.

The event was slated for Feb. 25 at Radio City Hall, with whom the two men had a contract. But MSG hired its own promoter to hype the event.

An aide to Bush and officials at MSG couldn’t immediately be reached.
