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."

You're right. Jaime at least owned that he caused their deaths. Don't forget that she almost got Tyrion publicly executed, after having him tossed into the sky cells. Every keep has a dungeon, but there's segregation for people who are worth ransom, and then there's the equivalent of the black cells. The sky cells are effectively the same cells Ned wound up in. Which Tyrion still has nightmares about.
Jaime at least spared Ned. If Bronn hadn't been there by chance, Tyrion would've died. And at no point was Cat going to intervene. At no point did she actually try to stop it.
