What is the correct collective noun for this situation?

Asked by rojo (24179points) November 18th, 2011

Yesterday, my local paper referred to a “gaggle of lawmakers” and, thinking this was not the correct terminology, I asked several friends about it at dinner last night. Their suggestions ranged from the mundane “a murder of lawmakers” or “a waste of lawmakers” to the more virulent “a circlejerk of lawmakers” and “an asswipe of congressmen”.
Anyone else care to weigh in on this and give their ideas?
