Turns out she was only sane from '86-'91.

She was raised a fundamentalist (with no TVnot that there's anything wrong with that
per se
) in Miami, and attended Florida bible college.
Then around 1990 she picked up a bible again, reconnected with a high school sweetheart (remember, it was a fundie school) and started going the right-wing-nazi route. But really from childhood she was headed in that directionwith a brief stint of normalcyironically in the Reagan-Bush I era.
I remember in 2000 she was on the short-lived irreverent sitcom "Strip Mall" with Julie Brown, and I thought there was a disconnect there. Sure enough, there was some conflict when she didn't want to say the scripted word "crap", because "it's the same as the s-word to our lord". (She wanted to say the totally-lame, "poop"why is that less bad?)
To me it's the saddest thing in the world when a female former comedian is homophobic.
