and have someone (like Sen. Franken) ask the suit questions about the flip flops and lies. Then the suit shakes the etch a sketch over it's head (if there were a head). With each question the thing shakes harder, then with two hands, then the whole body gets shaking and finally it falls over backward.

It should be done on day 1 or 2 and during the day. Doing it in prime time on day 4 is not an option.
