More precisely, run the osascript command asynchronously:

    osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to insert "foo"' &>/dev/null &

The last & makes it run as a subprocess, and the &>/dev/null  
redirects stdout/err so that the parent process can exit w/o having  
to wait for the subprocess. Of course with this approach, it's not  
possible to get any result back or take further actions after  
TextMate has executed the command.
