Beauty pageant vet Katherine Webb is trying on the pundit hat for a change, tossing her support behind aspiring lawmaker Wells Griffith in the race to replace retired Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Ala.

Webb gave Griffith the nod Thursday on Twitter, heralding the former Republican National Committee operative’s political vision (“He will do great things for our country”) and personal values (“Great guy and great family!”).

The random shout out is obviously noteworthy, but seems to lack the barely contained passion Brent Musberger exuded upon spying Webb in the stands during this year’s BCS National Championship Game:
