Golden Calf
A perfidious friendship is a useless chaff.
An idolatrous worship is a Golden Calf.
A self-indulgent wanton is a greedy staff.
A mercenary glutton is a Golden Calf.
A hopeless admiration is a major gaffe.
A faithless veneration is a Golden Calf.
A stand-up comedian is a belly laugh.
A playwright tragedian is a Golden Calf.
A scandalous reprobate is a stark riffraff.
A disgraceful potentate is a Golden Calf.
A crucial split decision is a forceful half.
A numinous derision is a Golden Calf.
