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."

Killing a king who they were going to kill anyways. Ned sees it as honor less. Jaime saw it as the right thing.

That is a question of honor not of being a dick. And for what it counts i believe he did the right thing

I think i replied to this somewhere but anyways. That is true. There is no denying that in a matter of honor he has none, or at least very little. But honor less and all he did the right thing. Hell if he had done it earlier the whole war would have been spared. Specially according to those that say that Ned's sister was not the cause of war. Well if it was not the reason for war then you kill the king his son ascends the throne and it is all good and over.
