Move over Aaron Schock, there’s a new, totally-not-gay, 100% straight Republican lawmaker accused of misusing public funds to redecorate his office.
Mike Yenni is a local conservative politician from Louisiana. You may remember reading about him this time last year when he was busted for sending x-rated texts to a Catholic school boy. He also bought the teen sexy $75 underpants, encouraged him to send him nude selfies, suggested they have a threesome with another teen boy, and made out with him in a mall bathroom.

Despite admitting to the “improper” behavior, Yenni insisted he’s “not gay” and that he’s is very happily married to his wife and mother of his three children. He also refused to resign from his post as Jefferson Parish President.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
(We should note: It’s very likely Yenni was telling the truth when he said he’s “not gay”; his behavior resembles that of a bisexual.)
Now, the 40-year-old lawmaker has a new potential scandal on his hands. He is being criticized for quietly increasing the budget for improving his office by more than 1,600%, raising it from a modest $11,700 to over $200,000. He then had his office remodeled to look like George W. Bush’s Oval Office in the White House, including a starburst rug nearly identical to the one Bush had.
See the striking resemblance?
Hats off to your interior designer, Mike.
Yenni insists the only things he used public funds for were to buy three new telephones and that he spent his own money to buy all the other stuff, adding that he’s allowed to make his office “as nice as I want it to be as long as taxpayers don’t pay for it.”
But invoices seem to suggest something else might be going on.

They show that, so far, Yenni’s office has spent $138,000 on upgrades, including adding several $1,000 apiece sleeper sofas, multiple $2,000 apiece leather desk chairs, and two custom-made mahogany desks at $2500 a pop.
The invoices also include things like etched glass doors and a current $7,000 order to have new hardwood floors installed around the perimeter of the starburst rug in Yenni’s private office.
“Regardless of what you think of me as a person, I am very responsible when it comes to taxpayer money,” Yenni insists.

Mike Yenni is one of those closet queens who doesn’t know what to do with himself. All those office upgrades aren’t going to offset not being able to cruise Catholic high school twinks or sublimate his lack of desire in his “hetero” marriage. He probably should take some of that money and start paying for a psychologist if he hasn’t already done so.

Yeah yeah. Who’s the cute guy on the couch?

Why isn’t Mkie Yenni in prison? Anthony Weiner was just sentenced to prison for doing the exact same thing.
PinkoOfTheGange
There is a slight difference in that the receiver of Tony’s sext was under the aoc in her state and her parents pushed for prosecution.
The Feds are reluctant to use the same law on this self loathing bi-guy because the youth was above the Louisiana aoc. The young man doesn’t want to push the issue (at least that was my take away from a couple of very seemingly thorough articles).
Heywood Jablowme
@Pinko: OK, that makes sense.

“We should note: It’s very likely Yenni was telling the truth when he said he’s “not gay”; his behavior resembles that of a bisexual.” Once again, the fact that he’s had sex with a woman and produced some babies has nothing to do with orientation. Pushing that line of belief is very dangerous. But yes, he probably does have some sexual attraction to women as most men with male ephebophilia leaning attractions tend have some type of attraction to women, no matter how minuscule, or at least a desire to sexually engage with women. But the fact that none of these guys ever get caught trying to hook up with women or teenage girls lets you know where the majority of their orientation and “preferences” lie.
If it’s not one megalomaniac predator “misusing funds” it’s another. It’s all kinda yawn-worthy at this point.

With out this part:

Not a plucked eyebrow would of raised, but the arm chair psychology just shoots the whole post out of the water.

Seriously “Graham”… stick with crackers.

Screw you, Nancy!

Hey… nice sense of community. “No… homosexuals aren’t all pedophiles… take a look at this sexual predator (who’s a dirty bisexual)…”
Eat poop and die you self-righteous queen! Eat it right out of your dog’s butt… and then die.

Someone got activated; hit too close to home, did it?
You do realize that the teen was 17, which is over the age of consent in Louisiana, so this doesn’t fall under pedophilia, which refers to children under the age of 13–it does fall under ephebophilia, the preference for sexual partners in mid-late adolescents (15-19 years of age), right?
dsharpark
Screw you as well “GayJim”… and what do you mean “hit close to home”… yeah, I’m bisexual and I took offense… REAL OBSERVANT OF YOU TO FIGURE THAT OUT… bravo!
And if you’re an expert on age on consent in various states… the police should probably check your browser history, pedo!
The comment (jab) at bisexuals was completely out of left field… it didn’t add anything to the story… it was simply a shallow attempt by the author to insult bisexuals. Some queeny, fudge-packing, limp-wristed Nellie feels REAL proud of himself…
On behalf of bisexuals everywhere… screw you, too.

This nut wit just can’t keep his cute c+ck su+king mug off the fluffy smooth ever begging scandal sheets. Welcome back Mike, I’m sure your b*tt boys love your cushy new f+k pad.

Yenni’s “replica” of the Bush Oval Office looks like he got it with a free tank of gas. What did they spend the money on?!?!?!? It looks like early motel.
Ogier
We know very little about the boy. He seems to have been receptive to Mike’s advances and even had a mall bathroom assignation. At 17 he is old enough to know whats what and no mention is made of his lodging a criminal complaint.
If so. Mike can count himself lucky and deal with his voters as best he can. They will decide his fate.
PinkoOfTheGange
17 is the aoc in Louisianan. So nothing illegal there just shmarmy. The youth says they just kissed in the mall head.
But it is a federal crime to sext anyone under 18.
PinkoOfTheGange
So did a hot young gay decorator get $110,000 in fees?
Are there pix?
Maybe on one of the tube sites,
breaking in the new furniture.
Did the delivery guys join in?
mhoffman953
The redesign looks like a funeral home.
I’m still not sure where the money went. If it cost $138,000 and the article says, “including adding several $1,000 apiece sleeper sofas, multiple $2,000 apiece leather desk chairs, and two custom-made mahogany desks at $2500 a pop…and a current $7,000 order to have new hardwood floors installed”, that totals $14,000 + $2,000 / leather desk chairs. How did that all add up to $138,000?

Sometimes it seems like gays really are everywhere. And some of them are even married and have children!!

” It’s very likely Yenni was telling the truth when he said he’s “not gay”; his behavior resembles that of a bisexual”
What the HELL is that supposed to mean?
Luna1979
I swear all these conservative politicians are trying to pass bigoted laws to save them from themselves, but as they’re the ones who drafted the laws, they know better than anyone how to break them.

Does paying for sex websites, lube, sex toys, condoms, dirty boys underwear help to decorate Yenni’s office? Being Bisexual or omnisexual(any hole will do) is truthful when Yenni denies being solely gay. But the taxpayers must call Yenni to account for the excessive spending. Recall or impeachment are some ways to clean out the CESSPOOL we have as a government. This Mike Yenni claims to be a conservative. Conserving his cash while having taxpayers pay his bills. The whole corrupt system makes me want to vomit at the thought of the level of fraud, waste, corruption, and just plain stupidity.
