Maybe you should re-think what you are saying, because Jesus apparently thought that the Pharisees were pretty righteous:
“For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20

Which is another way of saying the Pharisees weren't very righteous. You must exceed them to enter the kingdom of heaven, because they aren't making the cut.
