Donald Trump isn't the only politician with controversial hands.

Wisconsin governor and former presidential candidate Scott Walker was gearing up to sign a few bills Tuesday afternoon when, as anyone would, he thought he'd tweet a photo of his hand -- his fresh, pre-bill signing hand.

Aesthetic and staging concerns aside (No pen? No quill?), it is pretty weird for a politician to tweet a close-up photograph of his own extremity. This was not lost on Twitter, which responded swiftly with a barrage of its own tongue-in-cheek hand photos.






Pro: Some of these deserve a big thumbs up. Con: The human hand, when looked at for too long, can be a disturbing sight.

At least Walker ended the day with a sense of humor -- and a lot less flesh on his bones!

Time to put your hands away, Internet.
