WASHINGTON -- Hustler publisher Larry Flynt is printing his bombshell expose on Washington politicians as a separate one-shot magazine called The Flynt Report. Kevork Djansezian/AP Magazine sources said that the Flynt Report will feature full-blown color spreads of the parties involved in the Livingston sex scandal.
 
He won't put the Hustler logo anywhere on the publication, which he expects will sell in the millions when it hits the market in about three weeks.
 
Hustler staffers uncovered several extramarital affairs of Congressman Bob Livingston, forcing him to give up his bid to become leader of the Republican-controlled House of Representatives that impeached President Clinton over a sex scandal.
 
Magazine sources said that the Flynt Report will feature full-blown color spreads of the parties involved in the Livingston sex scandal "and others of Washington figures" but it won't be sexually sordid.
 
"This will be careful reportage," a staffer said.
 
Flynt and his staff hadn't determined the cover price or the size of the printing, but a source said the press run would exceed well over 1 million copies.
 
Distribution may also be expanded to include book stores and other retail outlets, the source said.
 
Flynt decided to make a stand-alone title of the Livingston revelations because he could get it out sooner than Hustler magazine, which has a three month lead-time. "We wouldn't be able to get it out any sooner than the March issue of Hustler," the source said.
