A debate between former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush was canceled, according to the New York Post, after the event’s promoter advertised it as “uncensored, unedited and unpredictable.”

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

It was never supposed to be a “debate,” McKenna said, which is how the promoter described it. The event was to be held at Radio City Music Hall in February — with tickets going for as much as $1,250 a pop.
