Actually, although I didn't know the specifics, it is in accord with the information I have read from many sources. The Pharisees are, as I understand it, the basis for the rabbinic tradition of today's Judaism. The rabbinic tradition is one which I hold in high esteem. As in any group of people, some lived their faith better than others. To say they were all hypocrites would be akin to saying all Catholic priests are child molesters.
Now I'm not positive about the Saducees. I need to check my sources before I say more about that.
