I noticed that too...

He seemed to get a little flustered when the thunderous applause of the drones wasn't forthcoming...

I imagine his handler on the other end of that wire the little turd is wearing is telling him "It's OKAY Dubya, just remember Karl has a cookie for you if you do this right"

They may be under orders to sit there, but I don't think anyone could make them applaud or cheer.
