    Bingo! The New York Times Book Review would have you believe she makes fun of herself, but she seemed not to even understand Colbert's humor--at one point, Colbert joked that about going back the feudal system in which women could be "lobotomized" (his word) for not servicing their husbands, and Flanagan bobbed her head up and down as if this was perfectly acceptable. If she truly believes women soley exist for men, perhaps she should keep herself off TV, off the computer...why doesn't she just off herself?
