You need to get a look at the actual SQL string, try something like this:

sqlstr = "INSERT INTO tweets_unprocessed (text, created_at, twitter_id, user_id, user_screen_name, json) VALUES (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)", (status.get('text'), status.get('created_at'), status.get('id'), status.get('user', {}).get('id'), status.get('user', {}).get('screen_name'), status)
print "about to execute(%s)" % sqlstr
twitdb.execute(sqlstr)

I imagine you are going to find some stray quotes, brackets or parenthesis in there.
