Is Governor Scott Walker fit for public office?

On Sunday, the Wisconsin governor tweeted a photo of what appeared to be him at his grill. It was a proud moment for the governor—he used three whole exclamation points in his caption—until, of course, people who actually know how to grill started to pay attention.

Twitter launched an immediate independent investigation into the governor's technique.

Though their report has yet to be completed, they've already highlighted multiple critical flaws in his grill display:

1. Failure to separate meats from veggies

Meat and vegetables cook at different temperatures, and thus, should be cooked on separate parts of the grill, like so:

2. Alignment of chicken and beef on the same skewer

Chicken and beef also cook at different temperatures, and should not be placed on the same skewer.

3. Dangerously low levels of salt and pepper

An epically bland grill for a historically bland man.

4. Overall poor presentation

Grilling is more than just meats and veggies. It's an art form that requires skill and care. More than anything, Twitter was deeply disappointed with the governor's overall presentation.

It's just Twitter grillin' the grilling!!! governor.
