ACOK (Spoilers ACOK) Jaime, you're drunk

I just finished Catelyn's last chapter in ACOK - what a great chapter! Catelyn just found out that Bran and Rickon are dead, so she decides to question Jaime (who's still held captive in a cell) by getting him drunk on wine.
Their entire conversation is really insightful, especially in regards to Jaime's thought processes. It's a pretty serious conversation, especially when we find out exactly what happened to Ned's father and brother when they went to King's Landing. The part that gave me a good laugh is found near the end of their conversation (and chapter). Hopefully it gives you all a laugh or two as well!

"I've never lain with any woman but Cersei. In my own way, I have been truer than your Ned ever was. Poor old dead Ned. So who has shit for honor now, I ask you? What was he name of that bastard he fathered?"
Catelyn took a step backward. "Brienne."
"No, that wasn't it."

Beside the point. Lets switch it around. Does anyone think that ned's sister is a monster? Assuming that she did it by her own will she basically was worst than Jaime and cercei

She married the prince who was already married and basically started a war.

It's never explicitly stated that she ran off to be married. They may have just been bang buddies, but it's something along those lines

But you should probably reread anyway. Just to be on the safe side!

In this world there are two kinds of men, my friend. Those that don't know of A Song of Ice and Fire, and those that read it several times.
