Something like this? 

set myString to "column 1a" & tab & "column 2a" & tab & "column 3a" & return 
set myString to myString & "column 1b" & tab & "column 2b" & tab & "column 3b" 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
	set myDocument to make document 
	tell page 1 of myDocument 
		set myBounds to my myGetBounds(page 1 of myDocument, myDocument) 
		set myTextFrame to make text frame with properties {geometric bounds:myBounds, contents:myString} 
	end tell 
	tell story 1 of myDocument 
		set myTable to make table 
	end tell 
	tell myTable 
		set width of column 1 to ((width of column 1) / 2) 
		set width of column 2 to ((width of column 2) + ((width of column 2) / 2)) 
	end tell 
end tell 

on myGetBounds(myPage, myDocument) 
	tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
		set myPageWidth to page width of document preferences of myDocument 
		set myPageHeight to page height of document preferences of myDocument 
		set myX1 to margin left of margin preferences of myPage 
		set myY1 to margin top of margin preferences of myPage 
		set myX2 to myPageWidth - (margin right of margin preferences of myPage) 
		set myY2 to myPageHeight - (margin bottom of margin preferences of myPage) 
		return {myY1, myX1, myY2, myX2} 
	end tell 
end myGetBounds
