Aide Axed Over “O-Dumba” Rant

Happier Times: Lee Landor

An aide to Manhattan Borough president Scott Stringer has been forced out of her US $45,000-a-year job over expressing her opinion about the recent Henry Louis Gates-Gate controversy in a Facebook posting.

“I get it — white men have dominated for hundreds of years and there’s a lot of anger there,” wrote 24-year-old Lee Landor on her Facebook profile. “But HOW MUCH MORE can the white people do to correct past injustices of their ancestors?”

“If Mr. Big Shot Harvard would have kept his mouth shut, shown his ID and not started yelling at a police officer, he never would have been arrested. So please, its time to get over this ‘It’s because I’m black’ bull- – - -” Landor added.

“You know what, I am really getting SICK of hearing about how white people are evil racists,” she wrote at 11:43 a.m. Friday.

At one point, she rants about the president: “O-dumb-a, the situation got out of hand because Gates is a racist, not because the officer was DOING HIS JOB!”

The story, broken by news website City Hall News, includes snapshots of Landry’s Facebook postings. Landy has since deleted her profile.

A spokesman for Stringer said, “Ms. Landor’s comments were totally inappropriate and in direct contradiction to the views of the borough president.”

A source told The New York Post that Landor was told “push or be pushed” after it was discovered she made the posting on company time.
