Cheat Sheet - Team Hillary: Don’t Call It a Coronation

Read This, Skip That ....

September 15, 2014
PREMATURE VICTORY
Hillary Clinton's flacks don't want you to call events like her appearance at an Iowa steak fry a "campaign." Instead, Ana Marie Cox reports, they're calling it a "movement." The reason is simple: People aren't fired up and ready to go for Hillary like they were for Obama.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

Ray Rice is expected to appeal his indefinite suspension, which was implemented after video surfaced of him knocking out his wife, Janay. Sources confirmed to ESPN that Rice would try to overturn the indefinite ban that replaced the initial two-game suspension. Both the NFL and the Baltimore Ravens say they did not see the video of the incident until last Monday, a claim which has been disputed. Since Rice's suspension, two other NFL players—Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy—were removed from Sunday's games for reasons related to physical abuse in their personal lives.

GET REAL
A key part of Obama's strategy to combat ISIS is to support so-called moderate Syrian rebels. However, such a group may not actually exist, Jamie Dettmer reports. Who in the rebel ranks can be trusted not to turn Western guns against the West? In an increasingly sectarian Syria, the answer may be no one.
ROYALLY PISSED

Queen Elizabeth II has thrown her royal weight into the fray surrounding the Scottish independence referendum. "I hope people will think very carefully about the future," the queen warned, while speaking to a public well-wisher on Sunday who joked about not bringing up the referendum. Officially, Elizabeth is not supposed to be publicly involved with the independence referendum and has dismissed any rumors that she is worried about the outcome. "Any suggestion that the queen would wish to influence the outcome of the current referendum campaign is categorically wrong. Her Majesty is simply of the view this is a matter for the people of Scotland," said a statement issued last week by Buckingham Palace. The referendum vote is set to take place Thursday.

BACK OFF

Kanye West lashed out against the media after he was slammed for stopping his Sunday concert in Sydney until two disabled fans stood up. At a concert in Brisbane on Monday night local time, West slammed his critics. "I'm a married, Christian man with a family. Pick another target," he told the crowd during rant that lasted several minutes. West also described the wheelchair incident as "bullshit blown out of proportion."
