Is zatso, Zed? James (if you read carefully) is asking for an existing word for one who rationalizes incongruously, not for the invention of a word that might fit.

Right, James?

So to personify a characteristic we can simply add an "-er" at the end.
e.g. rationalizationer
Or, in your case, a "-ette" would fit.
e.g. rationalizationette

There is a tsuwm-type word for this type of word construction but I forget what it is.
