In that sense, no, one could not be biased and still have the head do all the talking as it is a part of the definition of bias that it is not a rational process/influence.
So, if I understood you correctly, by "non-rational", you mean "driven by biases overruling logic/reason" rather than "emotional". So this means one can't be "biased for logic/reason" in this sense. Fair enough.
To be completely clear, I'm including both the effects of emotion and feelings as well as cognitive biases, as both are non-rational influences on our decision making and reasoning.
