Um... no.

Just because Jaime's attempt at murder failed doesn't make it any more forgivable than a successful murder. And there is no "better reason" for trying to kill a helpless child. I don't give a damn what it meant for his own family - maybe he and Cersei should have thought of that before they started sleeping together. Their actions have consequences, and those consequences are no secret. That doesn't mean that it's JUSTIFIABLE to shove a kid off a tower. Unlike Shae, who's an adult and knows how the hierarchy works and could choose to do what she had to do to try to defend herself, Bran... was a kid, playing on the castle wall, who happened to see something he wasn't meant to, and was crippled and almost died for it. Not okay.

Jaime's not better than Tyrion. Tyrion's not better than Jaime. They're both terrible people. (I say, as a fan of both of them.)
