Barack Obama canceled his appearance on Saturday Night Live in the wake of Hurricane Ike, but Sarah Palin was still there - played by former SNL star Tina Fey.

Well-received
"Tina Fay dazzles," says the Orlando Sentinel's TV Guy.

"She nailed it in a way that few other people could do -- from that strange Northern accent to the way she looked out of the side of her eyes to that weird thing she does with her mouth that I hadn't even noticed before.
"Brilliant" says Rachel Sklar at the Huffington Post:
"Fey, the "30 Rock" creator and former SNL star, returned triumphantly to the show last night to play Palin in a brilliant impersonation, knocking it out of the park..."
Lines of the night?
A frustrated Hillary Clinton (played by Amy Poehler) on the topic of foreign affairs said, "...diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy.
