Or, are you really trying to import addresses into Address Book.app?

think vCard
signatures are a waste of bandwidth
especially ones with political tripe in them.

mail.app is not like entourage or other email programs in that the addressbook it uses is actually the addressbook.app in your applications folder. You add addresses in that application and it accesses it. Think small, complimentary applications and you've got an idea of what mail/addressbook/iCal(soon) is. So, if you export your addresses to vCards, you can just drag and drop them into the addressbook application.
