Shoeless Norah

MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell was in the middle of a balancing act last week during the network’s lengthy coverage of the Iowa caucuses. Which helps explain why O’Donnell went shoeless during her 10:15 p.m. segment. The correspondent, in a red blazer and black skirt, placed her heels underneath a glass table on set. The camera panned her from head to toe, revealing that her shoes were not actually on her feet.

In explanation, O’Donnell was doing entrance polling from the “catwalk,” an area suspended from the main set.
