Passive-aggressive evil genius

My boss is an evil genius. She can manipulate me into doing things so easily! And just after I comply, I think, "Damn! I fell for it again!" She treats all of us like we are children, and speaks to us in "we," not the Royal We, but what I call the Kindergarden We, for example, "We need to put on our shoes so we can go to school." Or, more accurately, "How are we doing on that report?" when "we" aren't working on it, just "me." I am starting to suspect that she says "we" for everything we (meaning myself and my coworkers do) so that later she can take credit if it works out. She asks totally rhetorical questions, and then blames me when I call her on it. She told me yesterday, "I would never do that," but she'd just done it twenty minutes before! I know better, but it just makes me SO MAD. She is a control freak to boot, so I am at a loss. Any advice?
