Jimmy Carter Finally the Best at Something Other Than Wearing Sweaters

Back in 2010 I asked:
Jimmy Carter was first elected president 34 years ago, and is still alive. Is that a record?
He's just set the record for being the longest-serving ex-president:
Herbert Hoover enjoyed the longest retirement in presidential history, but that record was broken yesterday when Jimmy Carter -- a man whose circumstances echo Hoover's -- marked Day 11,544 as Ex-President Carter. 
Carter's also famous for being the only president to (so far) speak with a member of the original Mrs. Xmastime list, a resume-enhancer that happened here.
