Herbie is using rationalization. This defense mechanism consists in justifying or rationalizing the actions that it carries out in a way that censorship is avoided. A logical explanation to the thoughts or behaviors is given in order to reduce or avoid feelings of anxiety, inferiority or even guilt.
