It's a hangover from the ill-fated Clinton programming language, where you repeat an operator (such as "is") to ensure there is no ambiguity about what your intention is.

Too early for that pun, it works better at the end as a punchline of sorts, "ensure there is not ambiguity about what your intention is is."
