Couple tapes Gingrich call sparks political intrigue
Florida couple John and Alice Martin say they are nonpartisan political junkies who taped a phone call between Speaker Newt Gingrich and top Republicans from a car using a police scanner. Republicans accuse them of a Democratic scheme, while the Martins defend their actions as harmless history for their grandson. The tape, passed to Rep. Jim McDermott, triggered ethics scrutiny and a media firestorm with tales of conspiracy from conservative hosts. Boehner and Gingrich were on the same Lake City parking lot call as the Martins near Christmas, when the recording was made using a microcassette.
