 Upon hitting a SimplePie(and thus, WP_Error) error condition, The RSS
 widgets die with a fatal error.

 Attached patch checks for WP_Error, and exits the function as expected
 (from pervious behaviour). If the user is an admin (Or its on the
 dashboard), The user recieves a message along the lines of "RSS Error: WP
 HTTP: no route to host"

 Of course, The check for is_admin() can be removed.. Which might suit it
 better for cases where non-admins/non-staff access such pages.. Wasnt sure
 at the time of writing the patch.
