Exact same

Folks, if I leave you with no other message today, I want you to remember this one – Barack Obama and Joe Biden are absolutely, positively, firmly committed to ensuring that our daughters and my granddaughters at the exact same rights and opportunities to control their lives as my sons and my grandsons -exact same rights. Make no mistake about that. These guys have a social policy out of the 50′s.

Joe (Redneck) Biden

When I was in school 50 years ago, my teacher said exact same was using two words together that mean the same thing. It still drives me nuts when someone says that (especially on TV coming from someone who should know better). It also is irritating when someone says "is is" or "unthawed".
