No father-son rivalry in the Kennedy clan, you say? Think again.

Sen. Edward Kennedy gave his son, Patrick, a little ribbing on the campaign trail Friday. The freshman congressman from Rhode Island is running for re-election."I remember when I first went to Washington and for a number of years, I was compared to my brothers," the 64-year-old senior senator from Massachusetts said. "And now in the while since Patrick's been down there, I'm being com-pared to him.

"They're saying, `Isn't he a wonderful young man; isn't he doing a great job?' and I'm getting a little tired of hearing that."
