7. well . . . I didn't know that

and thanks . . . but it's a tad bit over the line? no? yes? It hits my sensibilities negatively, or is it my civilities?

Let your damn enemy scrape the bottom of the barrel, why join him in all that mire? IMHO, that is . . .

4. It's a reference to all the hardware he has implanted...

... to keep his heart going. A "crashcart" in a hospital is used to get someone's heart started again. Hence, "Crashcart."

Cheers.

5. I am not a doctor but

...as a fan of medical shows from the Ben Casey and Dr. Kildare days I assume it is the cart that has the defibrallator and cardiac needles/ drugs that they would wheel in in case of a cardiac arrest in the ER.

6. Cheney's pacemaker

is roughly the equivalent of a small crashcart, like the ones they use when people have a cardiac 'crash' -- it operates roughly like the paddles they use on a cardiac defibrillator that is rolled around on a cart. Hence crashcart.
