You could also just throw a class on the anchor tag and check on click:

$('a.button').click(function(){ 
  if($(this).hasClass('clicked')) return false;
  else { 
    $(this).addClass('clicked'); 
    return true;
  }
});

With the class, you can do some extra styling to the link after the first click.
