handle json parsing errors better (e.g. for GetLists())

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I got everything set up and running the API sample program, tweet.py.

  I got these two API calls went through without problem.
  print api.GetFriends()[0]
  print api.VerifyCredentials()     

 But when calling  this
  print api.GetLists('twitter-user')[0]
It gives me problem in Json?  Is that Json problem?

We should make the json parsing of the twitter responses more robust - morphing 
this bug to track that
