It's been done. Just run this script in script editor:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    activate
    set theContacts to (every contact)
    repeat with theContact in theContacts
        open theContact
        close window 1
    end repeat
    beep 2
    display dialog "All done" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon 1 giving up after 3600
end tell
