Here: I don't know about the original, but I just whipped this together for you:
...var doc = app.documents[0];
var masterNames = doc.masterSpreads.everyItem().name;
var d = app.dialogs.add({name:"pick a master spread"});
d.dialogColumns.add().staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Master Pages:"});
var dd = d.dialogColumns.add().dropdowns.add({stringList:masterNames});
if(d.show()){
var index = dd.selectedIndex;
d.destroy();
} else {
d.destroy();exit();
}
var master = doc.masterSpreads.item(index);

Aaahhh ... PageMaker scripting. Now there was a challenge -- I don't think I ever could write the thing I intended with that.
This quick javascript works on CS, but I don't think the syntax has changed (much) for CS4. Yell if it doesn't work.
Be sure to fill in the right 'blank page' name in the first line! That includes the prefix and the hyphen -- the script will alert you if you got it wrong 
//DESCRIPTION: Add Blank Master Page after each page
masterPageName = "A-AddMe";
masterPage = app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.item(masterPageName);
if (masterPage == null)
{
alert ('"'+masterPageName+'" is not a valid master...');
exit(0);
}// Start at the end:
currentPage = app.activeDocument.pages.length-1;
while (currentPage >= 0)
{
theNewPage = app.activeDocument.pages.add (LocationOptions.AFTER, app.activeDocument.pages[currentPage]);
theNewPage.appliedMaster = masterPage;
currentPage--;
}
Copy, paste into a plain text editor (InDesign's ESTK is good) and save as "insertBlanksAfterAll.jsx" in your Scripts folder. When saved in the right folder, it will automatically become available in the Scripts Panel.

Ouch! It must be one of "those things" that did change (and I bet it does work if you change 'null' in that erronous line to "undefined", which is another way of saying it's nothing at all.)
It was probably a copy-paste error. (Note the bit about line 2 -- which should be line 3 or 4...)
Congrats, Gabe .. until next time! (Ha Ha Ha etc.)
Hey Jong, that's "Harbs" among friends...
