Summary

Like any 13-year-old, Kenny Witkowski is more interested in playing Mortal Karnage than he is with engaging in politics. But that all changes when it turns out an anonymous stranger he meets in a chatroom is none other than the President of the United States! If you think that sounds like a vaguely unsavoury premise for a film, well, good instincts. Buckle up for Mail to the Chief (2000), starring Randy Quaid as the titular Commander in Chief.

He can't relate to the average, to the average park goer, can you? To the average park goer like me. So I've just been sort of just saying things and he's been doing them.
