Lion’s cub

U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy, said he was “thrilled” about the reception his father received when he made a surprise appearance at the Pepsi Center to help kick off the Democratic National Convention.

“Everyone has said to me since that speech that he lived up to his reputation as the lion,” Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) said at Invesco Field on the final night of the DNC. “Everybody . . . has told me how moved they were by his speech, how glad they were he was able to be here in person . . . and how they felt so strongly that him kicking off the convention was the right way to kick the convention off.”
