Here's a function that will do it, a slightly different way:

function removeDuplicateItems(id) {
    var ul = $('#' + id);

    $('li', ul).each(function() {
        if($('li:contains("' + $(this).text() + '")', ul).length > 1)
            $(this).remove();
    });
}

Call with removeDuplicateItems('myid');
