Yeah, guess I'm not of the right generation or nationality to get that reference the way it's intended.

I guess the conspiracy underestimated Garibaldi - assumed he was a screwup who only got the job because he's friends with Sinclair - and didn't bother assigning anyone particularly competent as their agent on B5... and he ended up way in over his head because nobody had a plan worked out for what to do if they got exposed on the B5 end of things, rather than at Io or on Earth Force One itself.
