I'm gonna have to side with Naz. She may not know how to program well but if she presents well, manipulates the client easily and knows who to dump work onto then she will continue to move up.
Like he said, take a look at your lateral and upward movement options. If you can avoid working for her, push for that route. If you get stuck with her in the end, two options exist. Work harder than ever to make her shine, so she can be promoted the hell away from you. Or you can stick to your job description and responsibilities, track and save every email, cover your ass and let the project crash and burn.
I learned very early on that managers do not need to know 'how' but 'who'.
just my 2cents.
